A momentary pushbutton, often referred to as a momentary switch or momentary contact switch, is an electrical switch that completes a circuit only for as long as it is pressed. Unlike toggle switches, which remain in a specific position until manually changed, momentary pushbuttons return to their original state as soon as the pressure is released. This type of switch is commonly used in applications where a temporary electrical connection is required, such as in control panels, alarm systems, and various electronic devices.

Momentary pushbuttons are available in various styles, including push-to-make, push-to-break, and changeover configurations. Push-to-make buttons complete the circuit when pressed, push-to-break buttons interrupt the circuit, and changeover buttons can switch between two different circuits. They are typically made from durable materials like plastic or metal to ensure longevity and resistance to wear and tear.

These switches are designed to provide a reliable and consistent electrical connection, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. They are often used in conjunction with other electrical components, such as relays and sensors, to create more complex control systems. Momentary pushbuttons are valued for their simplicity, reliability, and ease of use, making them a popular choice in both industrial and consumer electronics.
