F16 Push Buttons: Installation and LED Selection

Published July 27, 2024 Source Wenzhou Jinhong Electric 2 min read

Plan an F16 control-panel installation: check the mounting drawing, operating action, contacts and LED supply before ordering.

In this article

The F16 family combines compact panel controls with a choice of push-button and indicator functions. When selecting a device, distinguish the part an operator presses from a pilot light that only displays a circuit condition.

Start with the panel drawing.

F16 products are listed in Jinhong’s 16mm range. Use the selected model’s dimension drawing to confirm the exact cut-out, permissible panel thickness and clearance behind the panel. The size of a square or rectangular head does not describe the mounting hole.

Specify the electrical function.

Action: a momentary button returns when released; a latching version retains its operated position until released by the specified mechanism.
Contacts: select the required normally open and normally closed circuits from the model data.
Illumination: match the LED voltage and AC/DC designation to the supply. The lamp circuit and switch contacts serve different functions.
Protection: confirm the enclosure rating and mounting conditions for the exact assembly.

Check assembly access.

The original F16 introduction highlights a detachable design. Allow room to install and service the specified components without stressing the terminals. Confirm compatible parts rather than combining heads and contact blocks simply because they look similar.

See the F16 push buttons and F16 indicators, then send the model and supply requirements with your enquiry.

F16 installation worksheet

Complete the mounting and lamp details together before comparing quotations. A front-view photograph can identify a style, but it cannot establish the rear assembly or electrical configuration.

F16 installation worksheet
Check	Information to record
Panel drawing	Record cut-out, panel thickness and free depth behind the panel.
Lamp circuit	Record voltage, AC/DC type, colour and the signal the lamp should display.
Service access	Confirm how the head, contacts and wiring can be assembled and removed.

Can I select the LED voltage from the contact rating?

No. The lamp and contacts perform separate functions. Specify the lamp supply independently and check the exact model documentation for both circuits.
