Customize Emeregency Switch

Emeregency Switch use tact switch 6x6 or 12x12

Designed for mounting on a 20x20 profile.

How to assemble:

  • Print the body and the plate. You can use different colors.
  • Check that the plate moves smoothly in the case without jamming. If necessary, saw the edges of the plate.
  • Place the tact switch with soldered wires on the support rib. The pins of the terminals are on the sides of the rib. Fix the tact switch. I used hot glue.
  • Insert the plate and check that there is a small gap. If the tact switch rod rests against the plate, saw the rod of the tact switch. If the gap is too large, stick a piece of electrical tape or scotch tape to the plate.
  • To support the plate in the upper position, cut and insert plates of soft elastic material on the sides. This can be foam rubber, foamed polyethylene from old packaging, etc.
  • Install the plate and check the reliability of the tact switch On/Off.
  • Install the finished switch on the profile in a convenient place. I used M4x8 screws and M4 T-nuts.
  • When installing, make sure that the wires go into the groove of the profile and do not get under the switch !

How to make the text/sign more visible:

  • Use a toothpick to apply undiluted acrylic paint into the recesses. The color of the paint should contrast with the color of the part.
  • When the paint dries, scrape off the paint that has gotten on the upper surface with a scalpel or a stationery knife. Try to move the blade from the recess to the surface. Then the paint on the walls of the recesses will not come off. I do not recommend trying to wipe off un-dried paint with a damp cloth. The diluted paint will penetrate the micropores of the plastic and it will no longer be possible to remove it from there.
