30mm Push Only Switches & Push Buttons

What this page covers

Push-only switches are the workhorses of any compactor control panel. Cycle-start buttons are momentary (energize only while pressed); cycle-stop buttons can be either momentary or maintained (push to lock). Illuminated versions provide status feedback — green typically means ready, red means fault, yellow means waiting.

PRT stocks 30mm push-only switches in all standard color and function combinations. Standard configurations ship same business day.

How to choose

Match by function (start, stop, jog, reset), button style (flush, extended, mushroom), color (red, green, yellow, blue, white, black), and illumination (LED-lit or non-illuminated). LED-illuminated buttons require voltage specification (24V DC or 120V AC are most common).

Standard color conventions are useful but not binding — many compactor OEMs deviate from defaults. Match the original color when replacing existing buttons to avoid operator confusion.
