Circuit Board Push-Button Switches
Send a signal from your circuit board with the push of a button. These switches are small and have pins for through-hole soldering, helping you eliminate wiring and save space on your circuit board. Also known as tactile switches, they’re the same ones you press when typing on a keyboard. You’ll also find them in control panels and interfaces.
Covers fit over projecting button switches.

Configure instructions for electronic devices by sliding actuators to open or close each circuit. The actuators also make it easy to see your settings without turning on equipment. Since the contacts are gold plated, they have better conductivity and resist heat better than nickel-plated contacts. Push the contacts through holes in your circuit board, then solder them in place.

Small enough to fit in the tiniest spaces, these switches are rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion. They open and close circuits quickly to minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking. They’re often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures or as internal components in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate.
Switches with a lever actuator have an arm that increases the size of the actuation surface.
Switches with a roller lever actuator allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard levers.

Actuate these switches with a fraction of the force of other subminiature switches for increased responsiveness. Among the smallest snap-acting switches we offer, they fit into the tiniest of spaces. To minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking, they open and close circuits quickly. They’re often used as door-open indicators on enclosures or as internal components in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.

Circuit Board DC Magnetic-Object Proximity Switches

Send signals in response to changing magnetic fields to trigger processes or monitor position, speed, and current. These switches communicate with devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and microcontrollers. They’re also known as hall effect sensors. To install, push their contacts through holes in a circuit board, then solder them in place.
Maintained switches change their output signal based on the polarity of a magnetic field. They’re often used to monitor movement, such as tracking the speed and position of a shaft. These switches output a high-voltage signal when they detect a north pole, and a low-voltage signal for a south pole. When the magnetic field is removed, they maintain the same output signal.
Momentary switches change their output signal based on whether a magnetic field is present. They’re often used to trigger a process in response to changing magnetic fields, such as turning on a light when a door opens. When they detect a north or south pole, they output a low-voltage signal. When they don’t detect a magnetic field at all, they output a high-voltage signal.

Circuit Board Magnetically Actuated Switches
Mounted to your circuit board, these switches trigger when magnetic components get near, and reset as they move away. They’re often used to turn on electronics, such as starting up a laptop when you open it. To install, push the contacts through holes in a circuit board, then solder them in place.
Switches with a plastic housing withstand impact better than switches with a glass housing. The plastic also forms an airtight seal to block out contaminants. Use them in dusty or dirty environments where an optical switch might fail.

Smaller than relays with electrical wiring, these relays fit in compact devices. Mount them through holes on circuit boards with their solder pin terminals. Use them to control heaters, fans, and other high-power components from a low-power circuit.
Solid state relays have no moving parts, so they require less maintenance and last longer, switch faster, and are quieter than mechanical relays.

Circuit Board Safety Relays
![](/prerenderstable/mvPRE/contents/gfx/imagecache/625/6253n11c1-@halfx_fac64_1715616279.png?ver=imagenotfound)
Reduce connection errors on circuit boards that control machine guards and other safety devices. Also known as force-guided contact relays, they have contacts that won’t close at the same time, causing contacts to stick or weld shut. These relays take up less space on a board than those with electrical wiring because their solder pin terminals mount directly through circuit board holes. Use them to control high-power components, such as fans and heaters, from a low-power circuit.

Transistors
Amplify or control electric signals. Transistors are often used to boost weak electrical signals or as switches to rapidly control data transmission and computing signals. The transistor's leads are ordered from left to right with the flat side facing you. The incoming current you intend to control is sent to the emitter (E) for NPN transistors or the collector (C) for PNP transistors. The base (B) controls how much current flows through the transistor. Then current is output to your application through the collector pin for NPN transistors or the emitter pin for PNP transistors.
When you send current to the base, you can control the current flow between the collector and emitter leads. NPN transistors use positive current and voltage at the base to control current flowing from the collector to the emitter. PNP transistors use negative current and voltage at the base to control current flowing from the emitter to the collector.
Maximum current gain is the highest multiplication factor the transistor can boost the current.
