Momentary (ON) OFF (ON) Momentary Switch
A specialized switching mechanism that provides temporary activation in both directions from a stable center position.
Key Feature: Springs back to center OFF position when released, providing momentary contact in both ON positions.
How It Works
Position 1: Momentary ON
When actuated in one direction, contacts close temporarily. Circuit is active only while pressure is applied.
Center: Stable OFF
Default resting position. Contacts are open and circuit is inactive. Switch returns here when released.
Position 2: Momentary ON
When actuated in opposite direction, different contacts close temporarily. Allows for dual-function control.
