CP Series Plastic 1NO Spring Stay Put Green 22 mm Control Unit
The CP100FY is a green pushbutton with stay-put (maintained) operation — press it once and it latches down, holding the contact closed until a second press releases it. Unlike the momentary CP100DY, it doesn't need to be held to stay engaged, useful where you want a visible confirmation that a run/enable function is active. It's priced well below premium-brand equivalents and held in UK stock for fast dispatch.
Supplied with 1 x Normally Open contact. Accepts standard C1 and C2 contacts for expansion.
Technical Details
Frequently Asked Questions
What does "stay put" mean compared to a momentary button?
Stay-put (maintained) buttons latch into position on the first press and hold the contact closed until pressed again to release — unlike momentary buttons like the CP100DY, which only make contact while actively held down.
Can I add more contacts to this button?
Yes — it accepts standard EMAS C1 (N.O.) and EMAS C2 (N.C.) contact blocks, clipping on without tools to expand beyond the supplied single contact.
Is this suitable for washdown or outdoor panel mounting?
Yes — IP65 rated, protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets.
What's a typical use for a green stay-put button?
Green is conventionally used for start/run functions; a stay-put version gives a visible, physical confirmation that the machine or process is enabled, without needing a separate indicator lamp.
Industry Applications
