您将发现其不同类型、丰富的照明颜色选择以及本指南独有的其他知识.

最重要的是,您还将学习一些接线指导,以满足未来的布线与安装需求.

阅读我们的常见问题指南,深入了解这项迷人技术——发光按钮开关.

1. 什么是发光按钮开关?

不同类型的发光按钮

不同类型的发光按钮

发光按钮开关是一种机电开关,具备照明功能,可始终保持发光或仅在执行器按下时发光.

开发发光按钮开关的主要目的是帮助用户在黑暗房间或空间中更易定位开关.

发光按钮开关还有其他称谓,如发光按钮开关、发光按钮、圆形发光按钮开关、发光式按钮开关、带照明按钮、带照明按钮开关、发光按钮开关、带灯按钮开关或带灯按钮.

有记录最早的发光开关是家用LED发光灯开关,于20世纪50年代中期推出.

这是一种集成“氖气”灯的单极开关,仅需微小电流即可与卤素灯、白炽灯及非电子荧光装置无缝配合工作.

最终,氖气灯被LED取代,后者能耗更低、尺寸更小、寿命更长、开关速度更快,现常用于LED灯的发光开关.

2. 发光按钮开关如何点亮?

发光按钮开关的工作原理与标准按钮开关类似,但由于内部装有照明元件,其内部结构存在显著差异.

照明元件的点亮方式取决于发光按钮开关的接线方式.

可接线使照明元件常亮,即使按钮处于默认状态时也持续发光.

另一种方式是仅当按钮按下时照明元件才点亮.

对于LED发光灯开关,其发光原理基于电致发光现象——LED元件在电流通过时发光.

与氖气灯不同,LED发光按钮的亮度从任何视角观察都保持一致.

发出的光线均匀稳定,人眼感知良好.

您还会见到其他标签名称,如LED调光开关、按钮式LED灯、按钮式LED开关、按钮式LED灯开关或LED按钮灯开关.

3. 发光按钮开关由哪些部件和部分组成?

发光按钮开关由多个部件组成,每个部件对其外观和操作都起着重要作用。.

常见的部件如下:

  • Actuator
  1. 通常称为按钮,有时在技术术语中称为执行器。.
  2. 这是您按下以激活发光按钮开关的部件。.
  • Illumination

也称为LED或LED芯片,负责为发光LED按钮开关提供照明。.

  • Body

亦称为发光按钮开关的外壳。它将开关的电气部件容纳在一个单元内。.

  • 也称为自锁按钮开关的端子。

也称为端子,根据其类型,通过焊接或夹紧方式连接导线。.

  • 这也称为螺母或安装螺母,是一种六角形金属件,用于将自锁按钮开关固定在面板或表面上。

您可能还会发现不同的照明特性,例如:

  • 闪烁:

闪烁是一种引人注意的指示器,无需外部电子设备或额外布线。大多数闪烁发光按钮开关发出单一光色,有些类型发出多种颜色,其他更复杂的类型通过RGB混色实现颜色序列渐变。.

  • 双色:

双色发光按钮开关在一个单元内有两个不同的LED发射器。LED发射器有两种类型:

  1. 一种类型有两个芯片连接到两个相对的引线,电流沿一个方向流动时发出一种颜色,而电流沿相反方向流动时产生另一种颜色。.
  2. 另一种类型有两个芯片分别连接到两个引线,另有一个用于共阳极或共阴极的引线,因此它们可以单独控制。

最常见的双色组合如下:

  • Red and green
  • Red and yellow
  • Red and blue
  • Red and white
  • Green and blue
  • Green and yellow
  • Green and white
  • Blue and yellow
  • Blue and white
  • Yellow and white

RGB三色:

  • 三色发光按钮开关包含三种颜色,这意味着它在一个单元内有三个不同的LED发射器。.
  • 发射器连接到单独的引线,可以单独控制。.
  • 通常,采用四引线排列,其中一根为阳极或阴极,另一根引线用于颜色控制,但也有其他类型只有两根引线(正极和负极)并集成电子控制器。.

RGB SMD LED:

  • 由红、绿、蓝LED组成,可以单独调节。.
  • 这种类型能够发出广泛的色域,但无法产生纯波长,且模块无法优化用于颜色混合。.

装饰性多色:

  • 该装置包含多个发射器,可释放由两根引线产生的不同颜色,并通过改变供电电压实现颜色切换。.

双色背光LED:

  • 背光按钮开关在关闭状态下可呈现两种颜色选项。.

6. 照明按钮开关可采用哪些类型的照明元件?

目前大多数照明按钮开关使用LED作为照明元件,但也存在其他类型,例如采用氖灯或荧光照明元件。.

氖灯更适用于较高电压应用,如110VAC至240VAC,有时也可用于超过90VDC的电压。.

而荧光类型通常适用于较低的交流或直流电压。.

相比之下,LED是目前最实用且节能的选择。.

7. 照明按钮开关的电压等级如何划分?

与其他电气开关类似,照明按钮开关用于接通或断开电路中的电流。.

当电路断开时,触点会产生电弧或火花现象。.

断开电路的速度取决于电流类型是交流电(AC)还是直流电(DC)。.

交流电的方向和幅值不断变化,由于其方向周期性反转,每个周期内会产生数次“电流零点”。.

“电流零点”有助于在电路断开时快速消除电弧。.

直流电的工作方式略有不同。.

它沿单一方向稳定流动,因此需要更长时间才能完全消除电弧。.

长此以往会损坏触点,从而导致过热。.

因此,选择12V或24VDC照明按钮开关更适用于较低供电电压的应用场景(例如12V电池)。.

您可能还会看到标注为12V照明开关、照明12V开关或24VDC照明的其他类型。.

若使用英国标准电压,则更适合选择额定电压为240VAC的照明按钮开关。.

其他电压选项包括3.3V、6V、12V、24V、36V、110V和220V。.

8. 照明按钮开关的功能和默认状态如何分类?

照明按钮开关还可根据其功能和默认状态类型进行分类。.

选择适用的照明按钮开关时,这些分类对于确保其功能符合应用需求同样必要。.

  1. 照明按钮瞬时开关
    • 在此功能类型中,按下并释放执行器后,它会弹回默认状态。.
  2. 发光自锁按钮开关
    • 与照明瞬时按钮类型不同,照明自锁按钮开关在按下后会保持位置,直至再次按压。.

开关的默认状态分为以下两类:

  1. 常开型照明按钮开关
    • 在此默认状态下,触点始终保持断开;当按下执行器时触点闭合,从而允许电流通过。.
  2. 常闭型照明按钮开关
    • 在此默认状态下,触点始终保持闭合;当按下执行器时,会断开触点连接并切断电流。.

在定义电路中的开关类型时,常用以下术语区分开关的不同极限位置及其极数和投掷数。.

SPSTSPDTDPSTDPDT
扩展术语单极单掷单极双掷双极单掷双极双掷
其他术语通断开关、双向开关A/B开关
仅有一个«接通»位置,可连接或断开两个端子。.有两个«接通»位置,一个输入端子,两个输出端子。.有两个«接通»位置,可控制两个电路,具有两个输入端子和一个输出端子。.可控制两个输入和输出端子,并可用作单极开关。.

电路中不同类型的照明按钮开关

电路中不同类型的照明按钮开关

9. 照明按钮开关的亮度如何?

照明按钮开关的亮度也称为“发光强度”,且随颜色不同而变化。.

在光度学中,发光强度定义为光源(此处指照明按钮开关发出的光)发射的波长光功率的度量。.

人眼感知的可见光谱仅是电磁频谱的一部分,后者涵盖电磁频率范围及其波长和光子能量。.

下表展示了照明按钮开关的不同LED颜色及其发光强度与正向电压。.

LED颜色发光强度正向电压
Red1601.8至2.6
Yellow200
Green5202.8至3.6
Blue220
White2000

带符号的照明按钮开关

带符号的照明按钮开关

10. 照明按钮开关中的正向电压指什么?

正向电压术语指施加于照明按钮开关LED的电压。.

该电压通过LED的引线从阳极传输至阴极,从而使LED点亮。.

当流向反转时,称为反向电压而非正向电压,此时LED不会发光。.

正向电压也指施加在LED阳极和阴极之间的正电压。.

不同类型的LED照明按钮开关具有不同的电压要求。.

Additionally, LED illuminated push button switches with lower brightness typically require lower voltage, meaning that brighter LED illuminated push button switches demand higher voltage.

For instance, a typical voltage requirement for a low-brightness LED is 1.7 volts.

In contrast, high-brightness LED illuminated push button switches require higher voltage, which also varies depending on the LED color, such as:

  • Red – low current, 1.9 volts
  • Orange and yellow – 2 volts
  • Green – 2.1 volts
  • White and blue – 3.4 volts to 3.6 volts

To ensure the voltage is fully dropped across the LED, you may choose a voltage higher than the LED's forward voltage.

For example, you can use a 3-volt power supply for low-voltage LEDs or 4.5 volts for those with a 3.4-volt forward voltage.

It is also advisable to include a resistor in the circuit to control excess current and prevent the LED from burning out.

Typically, the current flowing through the LED is around 20mA.

Additionally, ensure that you consider the maximum current capacity of the LED illuminated push button switch and avoid exceeding it.

11. What is the average service life of an illuminated push button switch?

The average service life of an illuminated push button switch is quite long.

Generally, an illuminated push button switch has approximately 1,000,000 mechanical life cycles for its mechanical components and 200,000 electrical life cycles for its electrical components.

The LED service life is known to be relatively long, lasting up to 50,000 hours of operational life.

Other illumination types typically have a much shorter service life compared to LED illuminated push button switches.

It is important to note that the service life of an illuminated push button switch can be influenced by several factors:

  1. Compatibility
    • There are various types of illuminated push button switches suitable for specific applications and environments. Sometimes, when used in certain environments,
    • For example, if you need an illuminated push button switch for a water-exposed environment, you may require a water-resistant type.
  2. Frequency of use
    • The frequency with which the illuminated push button switch is used also affects its service life.
    • For high-frequency usage, it is best to use an anti-vandal illuminated push button switch, as this type is specially designed to be robust and durable for such conditions.
  3. Abuse and forceful use
    • Sometimes, if the illuminated push button switch is abused, such as by forcefully pushing the button or using sharp objects to press it, it can cause irreparable damage and shorten its lifespan.
    • For such usage, the anti-vandal illuminated push button switch is a suitable option.
  4. 振动
    • Vibration may cause the components of an illuminated push button switch to loosen, affecting its performance or ultimately ending its service life.
    • Again, it is best to use an anti-vandal illuminated push button switch under such conditions.
  5. 温度
    • Sometimes, if an illuminated push button switch is used in an environment where the temperature exceeds the manufacturer's recommendations, its internal components may quickly burn out.
  6. Humidity
    • The illuminated push button switch may react to a humid environment, causing the actuator to become highly resistive when pushed or the components to corrode and cease functioning.
    • You should choose a metal illuminated push button switch suitable for humid environments.
  7. Quality
    • A high-quality illuminated push button switch is more likely to meet its advertised service life compared to those of poor quality.

There may be other factors that can affect the service life of the illuminated push button switch.

Remember to purchase only from trusted manufacturers to ensure high-quality illuminated push button switches.

19. How does the illuminated push button switch work on vending machines?

The vending machine is one of the earliest applications of push button switches.

Although the first models do not have illuminated push button switch types, later on, vending machines adopted them since they are more visible and more appealing.

Vending machines have an internal communication technology base on MDB standards or a computer bus that transfers data between the components connected to the electrical circuit.

For example, when using a soda vending machine, you will usually insert the money tender into the money slot or coins into the coin slots.

Then an optical scanner determines the denomination of the money you tendered and displays the amount on the vending machine screen.

Then you select the drink you would like to get by pushing the button adjacent to it.

The machine releases the drink and provides you with change if you paid more than the price of the drink.

Nowadays, modern vending machines are featuring touchscreen user controls or QR scans.

However, you can still find many vending machines that are using push buttons such as the illuminated push button switch and other types like the illuminated square push button or square illuminated push button switch.
