The difference between self – locking and self – reset switches

To know the difference between a self-locking switch and a self-resetting switch, you first need to know what a self-locking switch is and what a self-resetting switch is.

The self-locking switch is that when the user presses down the button, when the switch travels to a specific position, it will be locked by the mechanical structure, and then it will stop at the specified position. In the second press, the switch will bounce back to the position of the first press. There are many kinds of self-locking switches, such as straight key switches, light touch switches, etc., which are used for the switch above the lampblack machine and the ground fan lamp.

Automatic reset switch refers to the fact that the button will automatically return to the original position when pressed to that travel position. Self-reset switches are common, such as light touch switch, straight key switch, micro-switch button switch, etc., all have self-reset function, and are mostly used for hair dryer, rice cooker, computer power button, etc. The explanation of the circuit is one of the objects of the plug wiring on the motherboard. When the hand is pressed, it will short circuit, and after loosening, it will return to the open circuit. The short circuit will cause the computer to restart in an instant, which is simply a restart button.

The price of the self-locking switch is mostly slightly more expensive than the reset switch, because in the design principle of the key structure, the internal working state of the self-locking switch is more than the reset one, which is used to lock the switch when the first press is pressed and reset when the switch is disconnected. For example, we commonly decorate the furniture inside the intelligent light-emitting button switch, there are self-locking and self-reset, usually self-locking multi-purpose control room fans and curtains, etc., with more self-locking.
