What Types of Elevator Button Connections Are There?
In an elevator control system, elevator buttons are the most direct interface between passengers and the elevator. The connection method behind each button determines how the signal is transmitted and how easy installation will be. Many users encounter a common question when replacing elevator buttons: How do I identify the wiring connection type of elevator buttons?
Here is a detailed introduction to the most common elevator button connection types and their applications.
I. Common Types of Elevator Button Connections
1. Pin Type Connector
This is a traditional wiring method widely used in older elevators, available in 2PIN, 4PIN, or 6PIN forms. It connects signal wires through soldering or plug-in terminals.
Features: Simple structure and low cost
Application: Older elevators or standard local control panels
2. Screw Terminal Type
The button comes with screw terminals for wiring. The wires are fixed by tightening screws.
Advantages: Stable and secure connection, not easy to loosen
Application: Industrial freight elevators, older control systems
3. Socket Type (Quick Connection)
This type uses quick plug connectors such as 2P, 3P, or 4P fast connectors.
Advantages: Plug-and-play, easy maintenance, high installation efficiency
Application: Modern elevator control panels (COP/LOP)
4. JST Connector Type
Uses miniature connectors such as JST XH 2.54 or JST VH 3.96. Compact and neat layout.
Advantages: Suitable for lightweight and slim control panels
Application: Panorama elevators, small home elevators
5. PCB Board-to-Board Connection
The button connects directly to the display board or COP motherboard without wiring.
Advantages: High integration and clean structure
Disadvantage: Highly model-specific and not interchangeable
II. How to Choose the Right Button Connection Type?
When choosing an elevator button connection type, consider:
Compatibility with the control system
Signal voltage (12V or 24V)
Whether LED illumination is required
Compatibility with elevator brand and model
