Illuminated E-stop switch

6 August 2008 Switches, Relays & Keypads

EAO has extended its Series 84 industrial switch range to include a compact, illuminated emergency-stop switch.

The new E-stop has a ‘foolproof’ mono-block design and bright LED illumination, visible even from the side. It shares the same 22,5 mm mounting size and low behind-panel depth with the other Series 84 products.

The full range features a choice of LED or filament lamp-illuminated pushbuttons and indicators. Switching elements can be supplied with an integrated LED in red, yellow, orange, green, blue or white. The illuminated version is available in aluminium as well as plastic.

A double-blade, snap-action switching system ensures tactile operation and guarantees reliable switching even of very light loads. With a maximum rating of 42 V, 50 mA, these switches are suitable for PLC level signals. They are ideal for control panels where space is restricted. A low profile of just 2,0 mm from the front allows panels to be easily wiped clean.

All Series 84 products can be connected by plug-in terminals or 300 mm flying leads, which enables them to be safely adapted to PC boards of different heights. They can also be supplied with a variety of cable lengths and connectors.
