A push button switch is a small, sealed mechanism that completes an electric circuit when you press on it. When the circuit is connected, a small metal [spring](/web/c/fasteners-fixings/clips/spring-clips/) inside the push button makes contact with two wires, allowing the electricity to flow.

In industrial and commercial applications, push buttons can be connected together by a mechanical linkage so that the act of pushing one button causes the other button to be released.
