Distinctive Characteristics
Square or rectangular models.
Combination of PCB mountability and short body allows use
in compact applications.
Small behind panel dimension for snap-in
mounting in tight spaces.
Snap-acting contact mechanism provides
sensitive actuation with audible feedback;
quick-make, quick-break characteristic
limits arcing and prolongs electrical life.
Latchdown mechanism, independent of
switching mechanism, gives visible and
tactile indication of circuit status.
Terminals are epoxy sealed to lock out flux,
solvents, and other contaminants.
Momentary and alternate action circuits available
in the same space-saving body size.
Illuminated models available and shown in Illuminated Pushbutton
section.
Matching indicators available and shown at the end of Section M.
