Sparkfun Metal Mushroom Head Pushbutton - Panel Mount (16mm, Red)

A reliable and easy-to-use input solution for control panels, the 16mm Red Mushroom Head Pushbutton is perfect for emergency-stop interfaces and industrial setups. Its large metal actuator provides a satisfying tactile response and functions as a momentary switch, maintaining a closed circuit only while pressed. This makes it ideal for temporary activation circuits, reset functions, or machine controls.

In industrial environments or outdoor enclosures, durability is key. This pushbutton, made from a combination of stainless steel and aluminum, is designed to endure repeated use without showing signs of wear. The rear screw-terminal connections simplify wiring and maintenance, eliminating the need for soldering. Its mechanical components are tested for up to 1,000,000 cycles, and the electrical contacts for 200,000 cycles, ensuring long-lasting performance.

The 16mm threaded body fits seamlessly into standard control panel cutouts, making installation straightforward. With an IP65 rating, this pushbutton is protected against dust and low-pressure water jets, and it can operate in temperatures from -25°C to +55°C. These features make it a reliable choice for both indoor and outdoor use, whether in a hot, dusty garage or on a cold, rainy day.
