Contactless Pushbuttons
Series FP01
Distinctive Characteristics
Brilliant illumination for highly visible status indication
with LEDs and caps in red, green, or amber; subdued
illumination for low light requirements with white cap
over red, green, or amber LEDs.
Photo interrupter, rather than contacts, ensures
high reliability and long life of 3 million
operations minimum.
Rugged construction and smooth actuation allow
repeated, rapid actuation force anywhere on cap
surface.
Snap-in mounting for easy installation.
Connector socket with 6 pins for simple connection.
Well suited for gaming and vending machines, as
well as equipment exposed to corrosive gases used in
environments such as chemical or steel manufacturing plants.

Output of the infrared LED in the photo
interrupter decreases approximately
50% after 100,000 hours.
Recommended load resistance (RL) is
40k ~ 120kΩ for the illustrated circuit.

LED COLORS & SPECIFICATIONS
LEDs are an integral
part of the switch and
not available sepa-
rately. The electrical
specifications shown
are determined at a
basic temperature of
25°C.
If the source voltage
exceeds the rated volt-
age, a ballast resistor
is required.
