When selecting a pushbutton for industrial or commercial applications, understanding the technical specifications is crucial to ensure it meets your operational needs. This particular pushbutton offers a range of features that make it suitable for various environments and requirements.
The pushbutton is non-illuminated and comes in a vibrant red color, which provides clear visibility and ease of identification in control panels or machinery interfaces. Crafted from durable plastic, this product ensures longevity while maintaining cost-effectiveness.
One of the key considerations for any component is its ability to withstand environmental conditions. This pushbutton operates efficiently within a temperature range from -25°C to 70°C, making it adaptable to both cold storage facilities and warmer industrial settings. Additionally, the degree of protection ratings are IP20 and IP65. The IP20 rating indicates basic protection against solid objects over 12mm but no water resistance, while the IP65 rating signifies complete protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This dual rating allows flexibility depending on where you plan to install the button.
In terms of safety standards and approvals, this pushbutton complies with multiple international standards including CSA C22.2 No. 14, DIN 40050-9, EN 50013, IEC/EN 60073 among others. These certifications assure users of its quality and reliability across different regions.
Electrical specifications are equally important when considering compatibility with existing systems. The rated insulation voltage stands at 690 V which supports high-voltage applications effectively. It also features a contact configuration of one normally open (1NO) plus one normally closed (1NC), offering versatility in circuit design—ideal for use as an emergency stop or start button depending on your setup needs.
Furthermore, the rated impulse withstand voltage is specified at 6 kV providing robust resistance against transient overvoltages often encountered in industrial environments due to switching operations or lightning strikes.
Lastly, with a rated thermal current capacity of up to 10 A this pushbutton can handle moderate electrical loads ensuring reliable performance without overheating concerns during regular operation cycles.
Overall this well-rounded set of attributes makes it an excellent choice if you're seeking dependable functionality combined with compliance assurance—all wrapped into one compact yet effective component suitable for diverse applications across Australia’s varied industries!
