Switches

Can I use a push button start switch for my manual glow plug switch of does it have to be a momentary switch? (or are they the same thing) I'm only asking cause I can't find any momentary switches at any parts stores, only push button start switches.


Sorry for asking so many questions about this.

They are the same thing ...

You just don't want a switch that can remain on without being held!

A button is safer then a momentary switch ...

-Enjoy

They're the same thing, anything that doesn't click one way or another is momentary.
Most momentary buttons are normally open (turn the circuit on while you're pushing in on it) which is what you need.
