DS-316 10mm Red Momentary Push Button Switch
The DS-316 Red Momentary Push Button Switch is a compact, self-resetting switch designed for electronic circuits, control panels, DIY projects, and electrical equipment.
Featuring a 10mm mounting diameter, a red push button, and a durable metal threaded housing, this switch provides simple and reliable momentary control.
The switch operates using a normally open (NO) contact, meaning the circuit closes when the button is pressed and opens automatically when released.
Its compact size makes it suitable for control panels, electronic devices, robotics projects, and other applications requiring temporary switching.

Important Notes
- This is a momentary switch, not a latching ON/OFF switch.
- The button returns automatically to its original position after release.
- The switch is normally open (NO).
- Electrical voltage and current ratings must be confirmed before connecting high-power loads.
- For microcontroller applications, use appropriate input pull-up or pull-down configuration.
- The red button is not illuminated.
- Verify the panel mounting hole dimensions before installation.
- Not intended for direct mains-voltage switching unless the manufacturer's electrical rating explicitly permits it.
