Where safety, effectiveness, and reliability cannot be sacrificed in businesses, the control interface must be engineered both for human use and environmental durability. Whether an emergency stop board for a factory, a reset system for a medical device, or a car ignition interface, the Metal Push Button is the first choice among engineers and designers. Its excellent tactile feedback, robust housing, and clean appearance make it ideal for access control and emergency stop solutions across a range of industries.

At Dongguan Createn Electronics, we specialize in creating and producing high-performance switches that work efficiently even under harsh, high-wear conditions. We started our company in 2011 and have industrial, automotive, medical, and consumer electronics backgrounds.

Designed for Harsh Environments

Emergency stop applications need to have parts that function flawlessly under stress. The last thing one should have in a high-use critical application is a switch that does not activate or shorts out early. Our switches are built to be as rugged as possible, like the Createn 8mm Waterproof Push Button with a mechanical lifespan of 100,000 cycles and an IP67 level of protection. Such a dust, water, and mechanical shock resistance level makes it suitable for industrial or outdoor-type systems.

Other such options like equal or even higher current load capabilities of up to 50 amps, but still working within a reliable operating range of -25°C to 85°C, make them best suited for racing-type use and heavy-duty control systems.

Lighted Options for Enhanced Visibility

Wherever low-level or emergency light conditions are needed, the distinction between reactive response and immediate action can be created using visibility. Illuminated Switches provide this requirement. We offer various switches with built-in LED indicators in red, blue, green, and white colors. The Createn 8mm Illuminated Switch, for example, contains a built-in white LED with a lamp life of 50,000 hours, and thus not only is it operational but also aesthetically intuitive.

For medical control panels and equipment, the Createn 22mm Medical-Grade Resettable Push Button features a nylon case with onboard lighting. This enhances visibility without compromising on anti-static safety needs, so it works especially well in applications where static discharge could be harmful or distracting.

High-Use Reliability Built-In

Access control units—car ignition, door opening, or power system reset—require switches with the ability to be operated repeatedly without wear. Sustained mechanical and electrical life are incorporated into our push buttons. For example, the 12mm Waterproof Reset Push Button and 12.8×14.5mm Tactile Switch with LED have ratings of up to 100,000 cycles of operation to offer long-life reliability.

Our switches also possess stable electric characteristics on repeated usage. With low contact resistance and high insulation values (100MΩ), they are engineered to be repeatable and reliable even after thousands of cycles.

In addition to functionality, Metal Push Button also offers a sophisticated look to the control panel or dashboard upon which they are mounted. Their metallic look with colored LED rings or symbols conveys a modern, professional design that is appropriate for both commercial and industrial equipment designs. Such balance of form and function is crucial in medical, consumer electronics, and automotive applications where the experience of the user as well as performance matters.

Our illuminated car start push button switch even comes with an optional removable chrome surround, providing design and aesthetic flexibility, particularly for racing vehicles or luxury car instrument clusters.

FAQs

What makes your Metal Push Button switches suitable for emergency stop systems?

Our Metal Push Buttons are built with robust materials and waterproof designs (IP67). Long mechanical life is also present (100,000 cycles), and the use of robust operating force plus excellent LED light visibility ensures high reliability in emergencies.

Is there any appropriateness of using Createn Illuminated Switches for access control panels?

Yes, our Illuminated Switches are ideal for access control due to their built-in LED indicators, durable build, and consistent electrical performance. Styles like the 22mm medical-grade resettable switch are particularly designed for the high-visibility areas that also have high use.

How does Createn Metal Push Buttons handle exposure to moisture and dust?

Our switches feature IP-rated protection (IP67 for the majority of models) with excellent water, dust, and other impurities resistance. For these reasons, they can be efficiently utilized in outdoor mounting, industrial machinery, and automotive usage.
