Applications

This stainless steel reset button is widely used in:

• Industrial control panels
• CNC machines
• Medical equipment
• Marine control systems
• Automotive dash buttons
• Smart home control boxes

Installation Guide

1. Drill a 16mm hole in the panel.
2. Insert the flat head metal button switch from the front.
3. Secure the switch from the back using the provided metal hex nut.
4. Connect the wires to the 2-pin screw terminals.

Wiring Guide: Momentary Connection

A 2-pin momentary switch works on a Normally Open (NO) principle. The circuit is only completed when the button is held down.

• Wiring: Connect one wire to Pin 1 and the other to Pin 2.
• Logic: Device stays OFF and turns ON only when pressed.
• Applications: PC power buttons, car horns, doorbells.

Industry Knowledge

1. What is a Push Button Reset Switch?

A push button reset switch, also known as a momentary switch, is a control mechanism that only stays in its active state while being physically pressed. Once released, it returns to its original position (OFF). In industrial machinery, it serves as a safe way to trigger actions like motor starts or system resets without locking the circuit permanently.

2. Latching vs. Momentary: What's the difference?

Feature	Momentary (Reset)	Latching (Self-Locking)
Action	Returns to original position when released.	Stays in "ON" position until pressed again.
Best Use	Horns, Resets, Starters.	Power Switches, Light Switches.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the benefit of the screw terminal?
A: The screw-terminal-push-button-switch allows for easy, secure installation without soldering, making it ideal for field repairs and industrial vibrations.

Q2: Is the 16mm switch waterproof?
A: Yes, it is IP65 rated, meaning it is protected against low-pressure water jets and total dust ingress.

Q3: Can I get this switch in different colors?
A: The FLM16-FS-2 is a non-illuminated stainless-steel-reset-button, but FILN offers Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, and White LED versions in the same size.

Q4: What does "Momentary" mean?
A: It means the switch only works while you are holding it down. It "resets" to the OFF state once you let go.

Q5: What material is the housing made of?
A: Standard units are 304 stainless steel or nickel-plated brass for high durability.

Q6: Does FILN provide custom wire lengths?
A: Yes, as a factory, FILN can pre-wire the switch to your specified length and connector type.

Q7: Can this handle 110V AC?
A: Absolutely. It is rated up to 250V AC/DC at 5A.

Q8: What industries use this 16mm momentary switch?
A: It is widely used in industrial control panels, medical equipment, and marine dash controls.

Q9: Is the button impact resistant?
A: Yes, it has an IK08 rating, which means it can withstand significant physical impact.

Q10: Does it come with the rubber seal?
A: Yes, every switch includes a silicone waterproof gasket and a metal hex nut for installation.
