Product catalog summary
General Specifications
The Series YB2 Panel Seal Pushbuttons are suitable for both power and logic level applications. They support a power level of 3A at 125V AC, 250V AC, or 30V DC with silver contacts, and a logic level of 0.4VA maximum at 28V AC/DC with gold contacts. The contact resistance is 50 milliohms maximum for silver and 100 milliohms maximum for gold. Insulation resistance is at least 200 megohms at 500V DC, and dielectric strength is a minimum of 1,000V AC between contacts for 1 minute.
Mechanical and Environmental Specifications
The pushbuttons have a mechanical life of at least 1,000,000 operations for momentary circuits and 200,000 for maintained circuits. They operate in temperatures from -25°C to +50°C for illuminated models and -25°C to +70°C for non-illuminated models. They are IP65 rated, ensuring dust-tight and splashproof protection.
Design and Materials
The pushbuttons feature a compact design and are available in various cap colors such as clear, brushed chrome, red, green, and yellow. Bezels come in black or brushed chrome. The housing and base are made from glass fiber reinforced polyamide, and the terminals are made from phosphor bronze.
Installation and Standards
The recommended mounting torque is 0.785Nm. Soldering should adhere to guidelines in the supplement section. The pushbuttons meet UL94V-0 flammability standards and are UL recognized with appropriate marking.
Distinctive Characteristics
The pushbuttons offer a long stroke and light touch actuation, with options for momentary and alternate action with latchdown. They have a snap-action contact mechanism for clear circuit status indication and can feature custom legends on the actuator or inserts.
LED Specifications
The pushbuttons can be equipped with bright or super bright LEDs in colors like white, green, blue, red, and amber. An external power source is required for the LEDs, and a ballast resistor is necessary if the source voltage exceeds the rated voltage.
Specifications
The document provides dimensions for round and square switch versions, with the round accommodating panel thicknesses of 0.5mm to 4.1mm and the square 0.5mm to 3.2mm. It also details dimensions for components like terminals and actuators.
Assembly Instructions
Round Switch: Involves removing the knurled mounting nut, bezel, and red o-ring, aligning actuator tabs with housing projections, and installing the LED. The red o-ring is reinstalled, and the bezel is secured. The orange o-ring must be present before panel installation, and the mounting nut is tightened to a maximum torque of 0.785Nm.
Square Switch: Follows similar steps with a blue o-ring and requires a square gasket at the back of the bezel before panel installation.
LED Installation
LEDs are electrostatic sensitive and should be handled carefully. The document advises aligning the D-flat on the LED with the part number on the switch for correct polarity.
Handling & Precautions
Emphasizes the need for an electrostatic protected workstation when handling LEDs to prevent damage.
Legends and Printing
Recommendations for printing legends on caps include laser etching, screen printing, or pad printing with epoxy-based ink. Custom legends can be provided by NKK Switches upon request.
Printable Areas
The document outlines suggested printable areas for various cap models, specifying dimensions and recommended materials for film inserts.
