IP67 rated miniature pushbuttons

6 August 2008 Switches, Relays & Keypads

Knitter-switch has released a new series of sealed miniature pushbutton switches designed for a variety of applications where protection to IP67 is required.

The DPW series consists of front panel switches, mountable by snap-fit or threaded bush. They can be supplied as standard with or without a superbright LED in a choice of four colours – red, green, yellow and blue. Various cap colours are also available as standard including green, yellow, blue, white, red and black. A separate sealing cap, which seals both switch and front panel, is also available.

These RoHS compliant switches are lead-free solderable and have a long mechanical life with a minimum of 1 million cycles. Contact ratings are 125 V a.c., 125 mA or 50 V d.c., 100 mA and operating temperature range is –40 to +85°C.

These switches are targeted at manufacturers of industrial control and automation systems, as well as those building medical products.
