When it comes to selecting a reliable pushbutton for industrial and commercial applications, the HW Series Pushbutton stands out with its robust features and dependable performance. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of various environments, this pushbutton is both practical and efficient.
The HW Series Pushbutton is illuminated, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions which can be crucial in maintaining operational efficiency. With an operational temperature range from -25 to 60 degrees Celsius, it remains functional across diverse climate conditions, making it suitable for many Australian settings.
This pushbutton features a screw terminal type that facilitates secure connections, enhancing overall reliability. It boasts an impressive degree of protection with IP65 at the front and IP20 at the terminal level. This means it's well-protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction on the front side, while providing basic protection against touch at the terminals.
Compliance with key standards such as UL listing, CE marking, ULKA approval, and CSA certification ensures that this product meets international safety and quality benchmarks. These certifications provide peace of mind when integrating into your systems.
With a rated insulation voltage of 600 V and a rated thermal current of 10 A, this pushbutton is designed to handle substantial electrical loads safely. Its mechanical life extends up to 5 million operations, indicating long-term durability even under frequent use.
The contact configuration includes one normally open (1NO) and one normally closed (1NC) contact made from silver material known for excellent conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The actuator type is extended for ease of operation.
Measuring at a standard diameter of 22 mm with a matching cutout size ensures compatibility with existing panels or new installations without requiring modifications. The green lamp color enhances visibility while maintaining aesthetic consistency within control panels.
Although equipped without a lamp type by default, its momentary function provides immediate feedback upon actuation—a critical feature in many industrial processes where precise control input is necessary.
The round bezel shape crafted from durable black plastic not only offers an appealing look but also adds another layer of resilience against environmental stresses encountered in industrial settings.
Overall insulation resistance stands at 100 MOhm reinforcing its capability to prevent unintended current flow which could lead to malfunctions or damage over time.
In summary, whether you're upgrading existing equipment or designing new systems altogether—the HW Series Pushbutton delivers on all fronts: durability functionality compliance—and ease-of-use—all wrapped into one compact unit tailored for demanding applications.
