Push-button Switch

Very high quality, low-cost push-button switch, capable of operating as either push-on/push-off (locking), momentary push only (non-locking). The push-on/push-off action (latching action) is provided by a wire detent. To make the switch a momentary action switch (non-latching action) the wire detent is pulled from the latching mechanism in the switch body and placed on one outside edge of the switch. The other end of the wire detent must be left in under the spring as this prevents the plunger falling out.
