Overview: The document provides comprehensive details on Eaton's general-purpose pushbutton switches, suitable for commercial applications such as appliances, electronics, and medical instrumentation. It covers both AC rated and illuminated AC/DC rated switches.
Specifications: The switches come in various configurations, button styles, and termination types, featuring slow-make/slow-break contacts. They are rated for different amperages, with contact materials including silver-plated copper. Terminal types include screw terminals and solder lugs.
Selection Table: A detailed selection table lists models with specifications such as type rating, poles and throw, contact materials, operating force, and mounting dimensions, highlighting items typically in distributor stock.
Mounting and Hardware: Switches can be mounted using one-hole mounts with threaded bushings. Hardware like hexagon locknuts and facenuts are provided unassembled. The operating temperature range is from -17.8°C to +65.6°C.
Illuminated Pushbutton Switches: Options include T-1 lamps, special lenses, and military snap-switches, available in various series with different ratings and contact materials. A reference table for illuminated and non-illuminated pushbuttons and indicators is provided.
Ordering Information: Instructions for ordering specific series, such as the 095 avionics switch, are detailed, including necessary components and catalog numbers.
Pushbutton Caps: A selection table for illuminated and non-illuminated pushbutton caps is included, detailing lens colors, cap heights, and styles, along with ordering guidelines.
Lamp Specifications: Specifications for incandescent and neon lamps include item numbers, voltage, amperage, brightness, and average life, with recommendations for external resistors and notes on lamp life under different conditions.
Mounting Barriers: An order guide for series 200 and 300 mounting barriers describes barrier types and their applications in switch configurations.
Engraving and Hot Stamping: Limitations and standards for engraving and hot stamping on pushbuttons are outlined, specifying character limits and styles for different sizes.
Diagrams and Dimensions: Diagrams with approximate dimensions for various series provide visual guidance for installation and configuration.
LED Lamps for Series 231 to 235 Switches and Indicators: Available in Red, Yellow, and Green with voltage options of 5V dc and 15V dc, with options for diode protection.
T 1 3/4 Wire LEDs for 800 Series Switches and Indicators: Available in Red, Green, Yellow, and Amber, with specifications including a forward current of 20 mA, luminous intensity from 80 to 160 MCD, and a typical forward voltage of 1.7V. All options are undiffused.
