When selecting components for industrial and commercial settings, it's crucial to focus on reliability and compliance with industry standards. This particular pushbutton switch is designed to meet the demands of environments such as mining, construction, and heavy industries. Its robust design ensures it stands up to the rigors of these challenging applications.
The pushbutton features a non-illuminated actuator type with a flush design, providing a sleek appearance while maintaining functionality. The button's blue colour offers clear visibility in various lighting conditions, ensuring ease of operation for users.
One of the standout features is its high degree of protection, rated at IP66. This rating indicates excellent resistance against dust ingress and powerful water jets from any direction—ideal for harsh industrial environments where exposure to elements is common.
In terms of electrical specifications, this device supports a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and can withstand impulse voltages up to 4 kV. These ratings ensure that it can handle significant electrical loads safely without compromising performance or safety.
The contact configuration includes two normally open (2NO) contacts, offering reliable circuit control when engaged. With a maintained function mechanism, the switch remains in its set position until manually reset—a critical feature for certain operational requirements in industrial settings.
Furthermore, this pushbutton meets several international standards: EN IEC 60947-5-1 and EN IEC 60947-5-5 for low-voltage switchgear and control gear; EN IEC 60073 for coding principles; EN IEC 60529 concerning degrees of protection; UL 508 standard covering industrial control equipment; and CSA C22.2 No. 14 which pertains to industrial control equipment certification in Canada.
The ambient temperature range from -30°C to +70°C ensures that the pushbutton operates reliably across diverse environmental conditions—from freezing cold storage facilities to hot manufacturing plants—making it versatile across different climates found within Australia’s expansive territory.
Installation is straightforward thanks to its screw connection type which provides secure wiring connections essential for maintaining system integrity over time. The cutout size required is standardized at 22 mm diameter which aligns with many existing panel setups allowing easy integration into current systems without additional modifications.
Constructed with a durable metal bezel material not only adds an element of ruggedness but also enhances longevity by resisting wear-and-tear commonly experienced in demanding work sites.
This comprehensive suite of features makes this pushbutton an ideal choice for those seeking dependable operational performance combined with adherence to strict safety standards necessary within high-stakes industries like mining or construction operations where every component must perform flawlessly under pressure.
