A PTM (Push-To-Make) switch is a type of momentary switch that is only activated while the button is being pressed. It is commonly used in electronic devices for functions that require momentary or temporary activation, such as in keyboards, doorbells, or game controllers.
A momentary 3-way switch in an electrical circuit is used to control the flow of electricity to a device or light fixture. It allows the user to turn the device on or off by pressing the switch momentarily in either direction.
A 3-way momentary switch in a circuit allows for control of a single light or device from two different locations. When one switch is pressed, it sends a signal to the other switch to change the state of the light or device. This type of switch is commonly used in stairways or hallways where multiple switches are needed to control the same light.
The horn switch operates as a simple electrical circuit that completes when pressed. Typically, it consists of a momentary switch connected to the vehicle's horn and battery. When the driver presses the horn switch, it closes the circuit, allowing current to flow to the horn, which then produces sound. Releasing the switch opens the circuit, stopping the horn.
Use a normally closed (NC) contact switch rather than a normally open (NO) momentary contact switch.

A normally-open, momentary push button is a type of switch. When a path is "open," that means that no current can pass through said path. This type of switch closes the path when pressed allowing current to pass through the path only when it is being pressed down. Otherwise is it normally open as the name suggests.
