When selecting components for industrial and commercial applications, reliability and functionality are key. The HW Series Pushbutton stands out as a robust choice, designed to meet the diverse needs of technical professionals in Australia. This illuminated pushbutton combines durability with efficient performance, making it suitable for a range of environments.
With a rated voltage of 6 VAC/DC, this pushbutton is well-suited for low-voltage applications. Its illumination feature enhances visibility in various settings, although it comes without an integrated lamp. The blue lamp color option allows for easy identification and differentiation within control panels.
The operational temperature range of -25 to 60 degrees Celsius ensures that this pushbutton can perform reliably across different climates and conditions. Its IP65-rated front offers excellent protection against dust and water ingress, critical for maintaining functionality in challenging environments. However, users should note the IP20 rating at the terminal level.
Designed with ease of installation in mind, the screw terminal type facilitates secure connections. The flush actuator type provides a sleek finish while ensuring comfortable operation. With a mechanical life expectancy of up to 5 million operations, this pushbutton promises longevity and consistent performance over time.
The contact configuration includes both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) options (1NO+1NC), providing flexibility in circuit design. Constructed from silver contact material, it ensures reliable conductivity and minimal resistance loss during operation.
Safety standards are paramount; hence this product is UL listed, CE marked, ULKA approved, CSA certified, and TUV approved—demonstrating compliance with international safety regulations.
For those concerned about insulation properties, the pushbutton features a rated insulation voltage of 600 V and an insulation resistance exceeding 100 MOhm—ensuring safe operation even under high-stress conditions. It also supports a rated thermal current of up to 10 A.
The round bezel shape made from durable plastic complements its aesthetic appeal while maintaining structural integrity. Available in black bezel color with a standard diameter cutout size of 22 mm makes integration into existing systems straightforward without requiring additional modifications or adaptors.
In summary, whether you're upgrading existing systems or embarking on new projects requiring dependable control solutions—the HW Series Pushbutton offers an ideal balance between practical functionality and adherence to rigorous industry standards.
