  • Electrical Ratings: From 0.02 A 24 Vc to 12(6) A 250 Va and 1/4 hp 125-250 Va.
  • Approvals: ENEC and cURus certified.
  • Housing Material: Complies with IEC 60335-1, with GWFI 850°C and GWIT 775°C.
  • Design Variants: Includes a mushroom-head button for lateral approach up to 45°.
  • Connection Options: Symmetric and asymmetric pinning, with pre-assembled actuators available.
Electrical Characteristics:
  • Nominal Rating: Up to 12 A at 250 V AC.
  • Thermal Rating: Up to 15 A at 250 V AC.
  • Operating Range: 5 to 24 V AC/DC for low current type.
  • ENEC and UL Ratings: Specified for various configurations.
Mechanical Characteristics:
  • Operating Force: Maximum 1.5 N.
  • Release Force: Minimum 0.3 N.
  • Travel Force: Maximum 3 N, with overtravel force up to 10 N.
  • Temperature Range: -25°C to +150°C depending on the model.
  • Mechanical Life: 100,000 operations for 2/3 OT.
Product Adaptations: Special stainless steel actuators, special connections for PCB, quick connect options, and telescopic plungers are available for customization.
Installation Recommendations: The document advises against the use of lubricants and recommends smooth actuating ramps made of POM, PA, or steel to reduce friction and wear.
Ordering Information: Products are identified by an 8-digit part number, with options for standard and made-to-order configurations. Customers are advised to consult Crouzet for specific applications to ensure suitability.
Disclaimer: The document includes a disclaimer stating that the information provided does not constitute a warranty or contractual commitment, and users must verify product suitability for their applications.
