Product catalog summary
Applications: The document outlines the applications for panel sealed metal pushbutton switches, which include outdoor controls, kiosks, security equipment, medical equipment, food processing equipment, military equipment, industrial machinery, and transportation such as mass-transit, marine, and lift trucks.
Product Overview: The switches are built on the series 48 platform, featuring rugged stainless steel housings. They are available in electro-mechanical and solid-state versions, with options for momentary or maintained action, and lighted or unlighted versions. These switches are suitable for various applications due to their compact size and variety of options.
Key Features: The switches offer momentary or maintained action, stainless steel housing, center spot or ring illumination, a variety of LED colors, and are panel sealed to IP67 standards. They are also RoHS compliant and have gold-plated contacts and terminals.
Standards and Ratings: The switches comply with RoHS 2002/95/EC and IP67 standards.
Ordering Information: The document provides a detailed ordering guide, specifying switch functions, housing materials, illumination options, and LED colors. It also notes the requirement for a current limiting resistor to limit LED forward current to 20 mA.
Mechanical/Electrical Characteristics: The switches have a nominal button travel of 0.09 inches (2.3 mm), an operating force of 3N (306 grams), and a contact bounce of 1 millisecond. They support various current ratings and have a dielectric strength of 1,000 VAC and insulation resistance of 1 GΩ.
Panel Mounting and Construction: The switches can be mounted into panels with a thickness of 0.50” to 0.150” (1.3 to 3.8 mm). They achieve front panel sealing to IP67 through a sealing o-ring and are secured with a brass hex nut tightened to a torque of 10 inch pounds.
