Switches, Relays & Keypads
Designers will appreciate the enhanced range of styling opportunities made available with the launch of the new switch bodies and buttons on offer from Arcolectric.
The new smooth and curvy mouldings for this range of snap-in pushbuttons means an even greater choice of functional front of panel options. Existing buttons include domed, flat, cylindrical and square styles with a further custom plug-in option for manufacturers who want to snap on their own unique 'glamour cap'.
The 8300 range is rated at 12(2)A 250 V a.c. T105 1E4, 6(6)6A 250 V a.c. T125 5E4 and 8(8)A 250 V a.c. T105 5E4 (50 000 operations) in Europe and up to 13 A 250 V a.c., 1 hp 250 V a.c. and 1/2 hp 125 V a.c. in North America, with full international approval.
Single and double-pole, latching and momentary switching functions are available, both illuminated and standard. All are available with either 6,3 or 4,8 mm tabs, solder and single or dual pin PCB terminals.
