KIT RED PUSH BUTTON + CONTACT ELEMENT

A push-button (also spelled pushbutton) or simply button is a simple switch mechanism to control some aspect of a machine or a process. Buttons are typically made out of hard material, usually plastic or metal. The surface is usually flat or shaped to accommodate the human finger or hand, so as to be easily depressed or pushed. Buttons are most often biased switches, although many un-biased buttons (due to their physical nature) still require a spring to return to their un-pushed state.

Contactors are widely used in all kinds of restaurant equipment. A contactor is an electrically-controlled switch used for turning an electrical power circuit on and off. A contactor is typically controlled by a circuit which has a much lower power level than the switched circuit itself, such as a 24-volt coil electromagnet controlling a 230-volt motor switch.

A heating element converts electrical energy into heat through the process of Joule heating. Electric current through the element encounters resistance, resulting in heating of the element. This process is independent of the direction of current.
