Technical Information
Series 76-94
The 76-94 Series has been designed to cover a wide range of harsh environmental applications.
The range is available in 3 styles, push-button, rotary and panel lamp.
The push-button comes in 4 button styles with 3 colour options and has solder/faston
terminals as standard. The rotary is a single pole, 2 position, snap action switch with green or
red spot indicator on the black actuator. To complete the range an indicator version is available
with red, green or amber lens.
The entire range is panel sealed to IP67 and due to the construction and the materials used,
are all capable of surviving the impact of a 5kg mass dropped from 40cm (20J). All the bezels
and the actuators of the push-buttons and rotaries are made from a non-sparking zinc alloy
whilst the panel lamp lens is manufactured from polycarbonate, which maintains the
specification of the range.
Non-standard options for the range include custom colours, PCB terminals, gold contacts and
2 pole variants.
The features of the Series makes it ideal for robust, potentially explosive environments, such
as the mining industry.
Specification
The push-button and rotary variants utilise ITW Switches’ proven Series 16 snap action
microswitch.

Panel Mounting
& construction information
The 76-94 mounts easily into panels not exceeding 6mm thickness. Front panel sealing to IP67
is achieved by use of the sealing washer which is fitted to the switch before it is inserted into
the panel hole cut out. It is held into the panel by means of a zinc lock nut, tightened down to
a torque of between 1,5Nm to 2,85Nm to achieve the correct sealing pressure.
It is mounted into a standard 22,5mm diameter hole and a double ‘D’ flat is provided to
prevent rotation if required.
Lamp Construction
& Multi-pole Information
The 76-94 panel lamp variant is supplied with a quick release bulb holder that will accept a T1
3
/
4
wedge base filament lamp. Because of the wide range of illumination available (different
voltage lamps, multi chip LEDs etc.), we do not supply a bulb as standard although we are
prepared to do so if required.
The push-button and rotary versions have a non-standard option of 2 poles. The 2 pole switch
is provided separate to the switch body and must be fitted, via a spring clip, after the switch
body has been mounted in the panel.
For more information, please contact the Sales Office.
