Industrial Pushbuttons & Selector Switches

Industrial pushbuttons and push button switches from Maple Systems provide dependable control for electrical and automation systems. Choose momentary or maintained action with options for illuminated, selector, emergency stop, and toggle designs. Designed to support panel mounting, PCB installation, and enclosure use with common contact arrangements, these devices offer sealed protection and crisp tactile feedback for reliable operation. Built for frequent use and harsh conditions, they are used across manufacturing, transportation, energy, medical, and commercial applications.

Choosing a Push Button Switch for Every Application

Selecting industrial pushbuttons comes down to three questions: what the device needs to do, whether it fits your panel, and whether its ratings match your control circuit. Whether you need momentary pushbuttons, latching pushbuttons or selector switches, matching the action type to the function is the first step.

Start with the function. Momentary pushbuttons send a signal only while pressed, which suits start, reset and jog. Latching pushbuttons stay in position until pressed again. Panel mount selector switches hold fixed positions for mode selection, such as Auto/Off/Manual.

Confirm the fit. Our industrial pushbutton switches use the standard 22 mm mounting hole. Before you purchase panel mount pushbuttons, check your cutout size, the clearance behind the panel, and your control circuit voltage (VDC).

Choose the contacts and materials. Each pushbutton switch accepts contact blocks in normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) configurations. You can choose a plastic or metal ring or head. Refer to the product specifications for voltage ratings on illuminated models.

Match the color to the function. Standard color coding gives operators quick recognition of what a control does:

Green for start or on
Red for stop, off or emergency stop
Yellow for abnormal conditions or intervention, such as a warning or a return-to-cycle after a fault
Blue for mandatory actions, such as reset
White for general-purpose functions with no specific meaning, such as auxiliary or confirm
Black for auxiliary functions

Check the environment and certifications. Our pushbutton switches are IP65 rated and carry CE, RoHS and cURus certifications. If your application has dust, moisture or washdown exposure, confirm that the IP or NEMA rating your project requires matches the product’s rating before ordering.

Before you buy, check: sizes, contact configuration, and accessories.

How to Choose Pushbuttons and Switches

Choosing the right operator control starts with function, then fit, then ratings. Use the guide below to match the device type to your panel and your application. If you already know what you need, browse a product type above.

Quick Pick Guide

Need a simple press signal?

Choose Momentary Pushbuttons. Common uses: start, reset, acknowledge, jog.

Need an ON or OFF state that stays set?

Choose Latching Pushbuttons. Common uses: enable, power, manual override.

Need clear machine status?

Choose Indicator Lights. Common uses: run, fault, ready.

Need a safety stop with manual reset?

Choose Latching E‑Stop. Common uses: emergency stop circuits.

Need simple mode selection?

Choose 2-Position Selector Switches. Common uses: A/B selection, on/off modes.

Need multi-mode selection?

Choose 3-Position Selector Switches. Common uses: Auto/Off/Manual control.

Step-by-Step Checklist

Define the action

Consider momentary action when the signal is active only while pressed.
Consider maintained action when the state must remain set until changed.
Use switches when the operator needs fixed positions for mode selection.

Choose signaling vs control

Use pushbuttons and selector switches to command actions.
Use indicator lights to show status, faults, or readiness.
Use illuminated devices when one unit must control and signal.

Confirm mounting and space

Verify the required panel or enclosure mounting approach.
Check available clearance behind the panel, especially in tight enclosures.
Confirm whether the device will mount in a panel, box, door, or station.

Review electrical compatibility

Ensure the device aligns with your control circuit design.
Confirm the control logic behavior required for your application.
Verify that the connection method fits your wiring approach.

Consider environment and duty

Plan for frequent operation where consistent tactile feel matters.
Account for dust, oil, moisture, or washdown conditions if present.
Consider vibration or movement in mobile or industrial environments.

Review safety notes for E‑Stops

Consider placement and accessibility as part of the overall system design.
Coordinate device selection with your broader safety strategy.
Use latching emergency stops where the stop condition must remain active until reset.
