ES-357 12MM PUSH ON SWITCH

12mm Momentary Push-ON Switch High-Visibility Panel Controls

This 12mm Push-ON Switch is a rugged, momentary Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) component designed for quick-action signaling and circuit triggering. Available in classic black, vibrant red, and industrial green, its high-profile actuator and heavy-duty metal mounting hardware make it a favorite for machinery control panels, automotive dashboards, and high-traffic interactive displays.

Key Product Features

• Momentary "Push-to-Make" Action: The circuit remains closed only while the button is physically depressed, automatically springing back to the "OFF" position upon release.

• 12mm Industrial Diameter: Sized for a standard 12mm circular panel cutout, providing a balanced touch surface that is easy to find even when wearing gloves.

• Color-Coded Actuators:

  • Red: Often used for emergency stops or "Warning" alerts.

  • Green: Ideal for "Start" or "Go" commands.

  • Black: Used for standard reset or general-purpose signaling.

• Reinforced Metal Chassis Mount: Features a high-strength threaded metal collar and a matching hexagonal nut to ensure the switch won't loosen under heavy mechanical vibration.

• Heavy-Duty Spade Terminals: Equipped with two wide, silver-plated flat terminals at the base, compatible with standard crimp connectors or direct soldering.

• Deep-Threaded Body: The long-reach threaded shaft allows for installation in thick panels or custom-built enclosures where standard miniature switches might not reach.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns ‍

 Can I use this for a light that stays on? No, this is a momentary switch. If you want a light to stay on with one press, you would need a "Latching" or "Self-Locking" model. This specific 12mm model is only active for as long as your finger is on the button.

Are the terminals compatible with standard car wiring? Yes. The flat spade terminals are designed to fit the standard quick-disconnect connectors found in most automotive and industrial wiring kits, making installation fast and solder-free if preferred.

 Is this button waterproof for outdoor use? While the metal collar provides excellent mechanical strength, this is an open-frame switch. For marine or outdoor environments, we recommend installing a silicone waterproof boot over the actuator to protect the internal spring mechanism from moisture.
