Momentary (spring‑return) switches close the circuit only while pressed — ideal for keypads, doorbells, and industrial start buttons. Self‑locking (latching) push switches maintain the actuated state (push‑on, push‑off) — perfect for power ON/OFF controls, equipment mode selection, and lighting switches.
Standard SPST‑NO and SPST‑NC configurations for simple on/off control, SPDT for single‑pole changeover circuits, and DPDT for dual independent switching paths. Supports both normally‑open (N.O.) and normally‑closed (N.C.) contact logic.
Standard series rated at 3A–5A/250VAC for power switching (appliances, motors), signal‑grade variants at 50mA/12VDC for logic‑level control (microcontrollers, PLC inputs). Hybrid power‑signal designs available for mixed applications.
DIP through‑hole for maximum mechanical retention and wave soldering. SMT (tape‑and‑reel) for automated pick‑and‑place assembly. Right‑angle and vertical orientations for edge‑mount PCB ports and panel‑interfaced enclosures.
IP67 rated push switches with silicone sealing gaskets — dust‑tight and resistant to temporary water immersion (1m depth). Ideal for outdoor industrial controls, marine electronics, medical devices, and EV chargers.
Momentary series rated up to 100,000 mechanical cycles, self‑locking series rated 50,000–100,000 cycles. Gold‑plated or silver contacts with contact resistance ≤ 100mΩ, insulation resistance ≥ 100MΩ.
Standard series operates from -40°C to +85°C, with extended options up to +105°C for high‑temperature environments. Performance validated through thermal cycling and humidity testing per IEC 60068 standards.
All Vistar push switches are manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 and comply with RoHS 3 (EU Directive 2015/863) and REACH SVHC regulations. Full compliance certificates and test reports available upon request.

Shenzhen Vistar Electronics Co., Ltd. is a professional push switch manufacturer based in Pingshan District, Shenzhen, China — the global electronics hub. Since 2009, we have specialized in the design, manufacturing, and global supply of electromechanical switching solutions, including push switches, tactile switches, slide switches, rocker switches, and detector switches for OEM and ODM customers in 50+ countries.
Our push switch portfolio covers momentary (spring‑return) and self‑locking (latching) types, with contact configurations SPST, SPDT, and DPDT, supporting N.O. (normally open) and N.C. (normally closed) logic. Mounting styles include DIP through‑hole (maximum mechanical retention), SMT (tape‑and‑reel for automated assembly), right‑angle, vertical, and panel mount (standard or IP67 waterproof). Termination options extend to solder lug, quick connect, and right‑angle PCB pins. Current ratings range from 0.5A to 5A, voltage ratings up to 250V AC / 125V DC, with mechanical life up to 100,000 cycles and an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Gold‑plated phosphor bronze contacts ensure contact resistance ≤ 100mΩ and corrosion protection for signal‑critical applications.
All Vistar push switches are manufactured under an ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system, fully compliant with RoHS 3 (EU Directive 2015/863) and REACH SVHC environmental regulations. For comprehensive technical guidance on push switch parameters — including operating force (typ. 3‑10N), total travel (1–4mm depending on series), contact resistance, and dielectric strength — we recommend consulting authoritative industry resources: the CUI Devices push button switch technical library for mounting styles and mechanical specifications, the Knitter‑Switch general pushbutton technical information for contact rating and IP protection benchmarking, and the E‑Switch pushbutton product catalog for circuit configuration comparisons. These references validate Vistar’s alignment with internationally recognized switching specifications and reliability standards.
