Questions about "Mini Pushbutton Power Switch LV"

Hi there,
I want to achieve the following behaviour with this switch:

1.) if power supply (9V DC) is applied the switch shall always immediately turn on (by itself)

2.) after that (power still supplied) I can switch on and off as I like with a external Pushbutton.

3.) after taking away the power supply the switch shall not “memorize” its last state (ON or OFF), because see point 1.)

Is this possible ?
Maybe a capacitor to the connected from the Power +9VD to the CTRL Pin is already enough to achive this ?

Hi.

A capacitor from VIN to CTRL might be enough to get the behavior you are interested in. I tried using a 10nF capacitor on a Big Pushbutton Power Switch I had in my office and it worked.
