When selecting a pushbutton for industrial or commercial applications, it's important to focus on technical specifications that ensure reliability and performance. The HW Series Pushbutton is designed with these priorities in mind, offering robust features suitable for demanding environments.
This pushbutton operates at a rated voltage of 24 VAC/DC, making it versatile for various electrical systems. Its illumination feature, powered by an LED lamp with a white color output, ensures visibility even in low-light conditions. The maintained function means the button stays in its position after being actuated until manually reset, which can be beneficial for certain applications requiring consistent operation.
Designed to withstand harsh conditions, this pushbutton functions effectively within an operational temperature range of -25 to 60 degrees Celsius. It boasts a degree of protection rated at IP65 on the front side, ensuring dust-tight and water-resistant capabilities against low-pressure jets from any direction. However, the terminal section is rated at IP20, indicating basic protection against solid objects larger than 12mm.
The construction quality is evident with its mechanical life expectancy of up to 5 million operations and contact material made from silver—known for excellent conductivity and durability. With a contact configuration of 1NO (normally open), this pushbutton is ideal for circuits where the circuit closes upon actuation.
The actuator type is flush-mounted with a diameter cutout size of 22 mm and comes equipped with screw-type terminals for secure connections. Its round bezel shape crafted from black plastic not only adds aesthetic appeal but also contributes to ease of use and installation.
In terms of safety standards and approvals, this product meets several international benchmarks: UL listed, CE marked, ULKA approved, and CSA certified—providing peace of mind regarding compliance with industry regulations.
The rated insulation voltage stands at an impressive 600 V while maintaining an insulation resistance greater than or equal to 100 MOhm—ensuring safe operation under specified conditions. Additionally, it supports a rated thermal current capacity up to 10 A.
Overall, the HW Series Pushbutton combines functionality with durability—making it an excellent choice for professionals seeking reliable components in their control systems without compromising on standards or performance efficiency.
