What type of output does an N.O. Contact produce in a pushbutton switch?

A normally open (N.O.) contact in a pushbutton switch means that the contact remains open under normal conditions, allowing no electrical current to flow through it. When the button is pressed, the contact closes, enabling the flow of electricity. This type of output is essential for applications where a circuit should only be completed when the button is actively engaged, allowing for momentary control of devices such as lights, motors, or alarms.

In contrast, a normally closed contact would be closed when the pushbutton is in its resting state and would open when the button is pressed. Intermittent output refers to a situation where the operation is interrupted periodically, which is not characteristic of a simple pushbutton switch with N.O. contacts. Sequential output involves a specific order of operation which is not inherently tied to the function of a standard pushbutton switch. Hence, normally open is the correct designation for the behavior of the output when the N.O. contact is activated through the pushbutton mechanism.
