Switches and buttons

Different types of buttons and switches

The button is a mechanical-electrical device and is used to operate the device. You can find them in many appliances, for example in a food processor or on a remote control. The button works as long as you press it and when released, it returns to its basic position. This distinguishes it from a switch that permanently changes its contacts when pressed, changing the connection configuration. When the pressure is released, the contacts remain in the set position. Depending on what you wish to design and what your needs and expectations are, you can choose from the variety of many types of switches in Botland. These include digital, limit, rotary or backboard switches. One of the most important are onboard switches, which are mainly used to perform on-off functions, e.g. in the dryer or vacuum cleaner. However, they can also be used to change the length of the haircut in the shaver. If you want to know more, you can go into each category separately to learn more about the button and switch functions. Plus, if you have any questions or something remains unclear, you can always contact our technical department.
