Product description

Arcade buttons with a 27 mm thread diameter are used to detect user inputs in game consoles, control panels, and operator panels. The thread enables secure installation in suitably pre-drilled sheet-metal housings or front panels without the need for additional fasteners.

The button operates on the principle of direct mechanical switching. Pressing the cap abruptly closes or opens the internal contact, triggering a digital signal. The robust construction withstands repeated actuation over a long period and responds immediately to every input.

These buttons are found in arcade machines, where response speed matters, as well as in industrial operator panels for machines and systems. They are also used in DIY arcade projects or custom control systems when a reliable and durable input method is required.

Mounting is done through the thread from above into the hole without nuts or clips, which simplifies installation. Depending on the version, details such as the cap shape or contact behavior may differ. The connection to the control logic is made via the button's switch contacts, whose wires can be connected to a microcontroller or a PLC.

Safety information

Contact with mains voltage poses a risk of electric shock. These buttons are intended exclusively for building prototypes and for testing and development purposes with low voltages. Work on or near electrical installations must be carried out by qualified electricians; if you are unsure, consult a qualified electrician before commissioning.
