1.FILN Button Switch Example:

1.1 Product Introduction:

Welcome to our latest product introduction, the 22mm Gravity push button switches, a metal push button switch  designed specifically for nail guns shooting. This button, a robust metal push button switch, is crafted from high-quality stainless steel 304, featuring two connection legs/wires, capable of handling up to 250V and 5A of current. Its compact design, measuring only 22mm in diameter without a light, makes it suitable for various nail guns shooting environments. Our clients from the USA have requested custom push button switches for nail guns, with high demands for product quality and stability. We are committed to providing them with the highest quality push button switches and services.

1.2 Customization Needs:

Through communication with our client, we discovered that the push button switches provided by their previous supplier could not withstand the impact force of nail guns shots, leading to damage and disintegration of the nail guns head after a few uses. This significantly impacted the quality and user experience of the nail guns. Consequently, the client reached out to several Chinese button companies, including FILN, hoping for a better metal push button switch solution.

1.3 Innovative Response Measures:

Based on the situation, we recommended a more stable 22MM stainless steel metal push button switch structure and provided clear product effect pictures. Considering the traditional push button switches’ susceptibility to wear and tear in nail guns shooting environments, we introduced innovative measures, adding a spring structure to counteract the impact force. Furthermore, we customized the head and internal structure of the metal push button switch to withstand the impact force of nail guns gravity shooting, thereby enhancing the product’s durability and reliability. Compared to push button switches provided by previous suppliers, our product offers better resistance to nail guns shooting, avoiding damage due to impact.

The process of connecting the 22MM Gravity Metal Push Button Switch requires attention to accuracy and safety to ensure the switch works correctly and safely within the circuit. Here is a basic guide for connecting the 22MM Gravity Metal Push Button Switch:

6.1 Preparation of Tools and Materials:

• 22MM Gravity Metal Push Button Switch
• Appropriate gauge wire
• Wire stripper
• Screwdriver
• Soldering tools (if soldering is required)
• Insulating tape or heat shrink tubing

6.2 Wire Preparation:

Stripping: Use a wire stripper to remove about 1cm

of insulation from the wire’s end, exposing the copper wire.

Cleaning: If the wire end needs soldering, clean the

copper wire to remove oxidation.

6.3 Connecting the Wire to the push button switches:

Identify Terminal Points: Check the 22MM Gravity Metal Push Button Switch for its terminal points, likely marked as Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC), and Common (COM).

Normally Open (NO): Contacts that close only when the switch is pressed.

Normally Closed (NC): Contacts that are closed when the switch is not pressed.

Common (COM): A terminal connected to either NO or NC contacts, completing the circuit.

Connecting the Wire:

1.For screw-fixed type terminals, insert the stripped wire end into the corresponding terminal hole and tighten the screw with a screwdriver to ensure a good electrical connection between the wire and the terminal.

2.For solder-type terminals, use soldering tools to solder the wire to the corresponding terminal. Be mindful of accuracy and safety during soldering to prevent overheating damage to the switch.

6.4 Testing and Inspection:

After connecting, use a multimeter’s continuity test function to check if the switch’s open and close states meet expectations, ensuring no short circuits or open circuits. Inspect all connection points for firmness and reliability, ensuring no looseness.

6.5 Final Installation:

Install the 22MM Gravity Metal Push Button Switch in the designated position, ensuring it is securely fixed. Use insulating tape or heat shrink tubing to insulate all exposed wires and solder joints, preventing electric shock or short circuits.

6.6 Safety Precautions:

Before performing any electrical work, ensure the power supply is disconnected to avoid the risk of electric shock. If unsure about safely completing the installation, consult a professional. Ensure the wires and switches used meet the voltage and current requirements of the intended circuit. By following these steps and precautions, you can safely and effectively connect the 22MM Gravity Metal Push Button Switch, ensuring its correct function and long-term reliability within the circuit.
