NOS Push Button Switch

NOS Push Button Switches: Race-Proven Control at Your Fingertips

When it comes to activating a nitrous system, the switch between a great run and a missed opportunity is often quite literally the button you press. NOS (Nitrous Oxide Systems) has been at the forefront of nitrous performance since the late 1970s, and their push button switches are a natural extension of that expertise — purpose-built components designed to deliver instant, reliable electrical control in the demanding environment of performance motorsports.

What Makes NOS Push Button Switches Stand Out

NOS offers a variety of switches for many applications, including activating fuel pump solenoids and nitrous systems, spanning toggle, momentary push button, micro, and safety switch styles. Within the push button category specifically, NOS focuses on two core offerings that address different mounting and installation needs.

The heavy-duty push button (momentary) switch — part number 15610NOS — enables performance enthusiasts to activate solenoids, fuel pumps, and most anything else. It features a blue color, a momentary design, and a 1/2-inch (0.500 in.) panel mounting diameter, with a maximum amperage draw of 5A. Its compact, lightweight form makes it equally at home on a steering wheel hub, a dash panel, or a roll cage crossbar.

For builds where the switch needs to live outside the cockpit or in moisture-prone areas, NOS also offers the 15651NOS Remote Nitrous Push Button Switch. The remote pushbutton switch is waterproof and enables enthusiasts to activate solenoids, fuel pumps, and most anything else, while safely protecting the switch from water damage. It features a flex cord style for easy access and comes backed by a 90-day limited warranty.

Why Trust NOS for Electrical Controls?

During its first several years, NOS spent most of its resources demonstrating that nitrous oxide was an efficient, safe form of performance enhancement — and the effort paid off, as NOS quickly became known for producing easy-to-install kits made from the highest quality materials available. That same philosophy carries over into their switch lineup. A nitrous system is only as dependable as the weakest link in its activation chain, which is exactly why NOS engineers their push button switches to match the durability standards of the rest of their hardware.

The advent of drag racing's Pro Mod class in the 1980s provided a boost of popularity to NOS — in fact, both the first 200 mph run and the first 6-second run were aided by NOS. That racing heritage informs every component NOS produces, including the humble but critical push button switch. Whether you are staging at the Christmas tree or managing a complex multi-stage street build, a switch failure is simply not an option.

Choosing the Right NOS Push Button Switch

Selecting between the standard momentary 15610NOS and the waterproof remote 15651NOS comes down to installation location and environment. Cockpit-mounted applications in a dry, controlled environment are well served by the standard blue momentary switch, while underhood, underbody, or exterior mounting points demand the waterproof remote variant. Both are designed to integrate seamlessly with NOS system wiring, making them a logical pairing for anyone already running NOS solenoids and controllers.
