I'm looking through Mouser for a SPST latching pushbutton switch. Click on, click off power.
I see them listed as:
"()= Momentary"
OFF-(ON)
ON-(OFF)
OFF-ON
ON-(ON)
ON-ON
ON-OFF
OK the first three I think I get. "OFF-(ON) normally off and momentarily on, right? Then "OFF-ON" would mean latching?
But by that same line of thinking, "ON-(ON)" would be normally on then momentarily on, which sounds like nonsense, as does "ON-ON". "ON-OFF" would be the same as "OFF-ON" too, the 2 latching states appear identical for a button.
Am I interpreting this correctly at all? What do "ON-(ON)", "ON-ON", and "ON-OFF" mean??
