When it comes to selecting a reliable pushbutton for industrial and commercial applications, understanding the technical specifications is crucial. This particular pushbutton offers a balance of durability and functionality, making it a fitting choice for those who prioritize performance over flair.
Designed with an illuminated red actuator, this pushbutton ensures visibility in various operational settings. The illumination feature aids in quick identification, which is particularly beneficial in environments where swift action is required. Constructed from robust plastic material, the button withstands rigorous usage while maintaining its structural integrity.
The electrical specifications are equally impressive. Operating at a rated voltage of 12 VDC, this pushbutton is suitable for low-voltage applications where safety and efficiency are paramount. It also boasts a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and can handle a rated thermal current of up to 10 A, ensuring compatibility with diverse electrical systems.
One standout feature is its dual degree of protection: IP20 and IP65. This indicates that the device provides basic protection against solid objects larger than 12mm (IP20), while also offering complete dust-tight protection and resistance to water jets from any direction (IP65). Such versatility makes it adaptable for both indoor installations protected from moisture as well as more exposed environments.
The pushbutton operates efficiently across a wide temperature range from -25°C to 70°C, allowing it to function reliably under varying climatic conditions typical in different parts of Australia—from chilly southern regions to warmer northern areas.
Compliance with multiple standards further underscores its reliability. Certified under CSA C22.2 No. 14, DIN 40050-9 among others like EN 50013 and UL 508, this product meets stringent international safety and quality benchmarks—providing peace of mind regarding regulatory adherence.
Its contact configuration includes one normally closed (1NC) contact which suits applications requiring fail-safe operations by breaking the circuit when not pressed—a common requirement in emergency stop functions or machinery control panels.
Moreover, the rated impulse withstand voltage stands at an impressive 6 kV—offering resilience against transient overvoltages often encountered in industrial environments due to switching surges or lightning strikes.
This comprehensive blend of features positions this pushbutton as an excellent choice for professionals seeking dependable components that deliver consistent performance without unnecessary complexity or frills commonly associated with less specialized products.
