When it comes to industrial and commercial applications, choosing the right pushbutton can significantly impact operational efficiency and safety. This particular pushbutton is designed to meet rigorous standards while providing reliable performance in various environments.
Operating at a rated voltage of 12 VDC, this illuminated red pushbutton ensures clear visibility and quick identification in control systems. The illumination feature is particularly beneficial in low-light conditions or for enhancing user interaction with equipment.
Constructed from durable plastic, this pushbutton combines resilience with functionality. It operates efficiently across a wide temperature range from -25 to 70 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for diverse settings including both indoor and outdoor applications.
The degree of protection offered by this product includes IP20 and IP65 ratings. The IP20 rating indicates basic protection against solid objects larger than 12mm, while the IP65 rating provides superior dust-tight sealing and protection against water jets from any direction. This makes the pushbutton ideal for environments where exposure to dust or moisture is a concern.
Safety and compliance are crucial in industrial products, and this pushbutton meets multiple international standards including CSA C22.2 No. 14, DIN 40050-9, EN 50013 among others. These certifications ensure that the product adheres to stringent safety regulations required for electrical components used globally.
With a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV, this pushbutton offers robust electrical performance under demanding conditions. Its contact configuration features two normally closed (2NC) contacts which are commonly used for fail-safe operations ensuring that circuits remain open unless actively engaged.
The release method employed is 'pull', adding an extra layer of security by requiring deliberate action to reset or deactivate the button function—ideal for emergency stop scenarios where accidental resets must be avoided.
In terms of current handling capabilities, the pushbutton supports a rated thermal current up to 10 A which accommodates most standard industrial applications without compromising on reliability or safety.
Overall, this illuminated red plastic pushbutton stands out as a dependable choice for engineers seeking components that deliver consistent performance while meeting high safety standards across varied operational environments.
