    EDIT:
    On topic, I received the second tranche of the book money t'other day... which is coincidentally almost the exact same amount I need to give HMRC at the end of the month. Yay self-employment(!)

    Anyone clear this up for me, I'm looking for a button which turns on when you apply force then once released stops the circuit. Bahhh

    Would that be this? Momentary SPST NO

    what does SPST even mean?

    Single Pole Single Throw - are you sure you're in the right thread? Is this not better in the tech help thread?

    Single Pole Single Throw I think. Essentially Single input, single output Like an on off switch.

    That is a momentary (i.e. is only switched while your finger is on it) single-pole single-throw (i.e. opens or closes a single circuit) normally open (i.e. is an open circuit when your finger isn't on it and a closed circuit when it is) switch, or to put it another way exactly what you're looking for.

    See also: single-pole double-throw (has two closed positions, no open positions), double-pole double-throw (two SPDT switches that switch at the same time), and so on up the scale; maintained, or latching, switch, which stays in the position you chose instead of resetting when your finger leaves it; and normally closed (NC), which you'll be amazed to hear is the opposite of normally open.

    Yep that's it. It will a momentary switch Evolutionsic is looking for, like a PC on/off switch perhaps. Not looked but there will be loads. Depends on your mounting, size etc. of course.
