Switches, Relays & Keypads


Latching pushbuttons

12 August 2015 Switches, Relays & Keypads

Tested and qualified for impact resistance and sealing to IP and IK levels, the AV series of pushbutton switches from APEM withstand adversity in the forms of rain, frost, UV and vandalism while offering a modern and stylish design.

For increased operator safety, the product range includes three new models approved to EN 61058-1 (NF/CE standard) that can switch 250 V a.c. This approval is essential in all applications linked to the operation of consumer equipment such as light fixtures and devices.

Modifications that have been made to meet the standard include a minimal distance between contacts and housing, adapted case length to ensure correct creepage distance, and self-extinguishing and/or flame retardant material with high insulating power.

The latching action pushbutton switches are available in three bushing diameters – 16 mm, 19 mm and 22 mm – and are suitable for operation in temperatures spanning -30°C to +70°C. They have a lifetime of 200 000 mechanical cycles and 10 000 electrical cycles at 1 A, 250 V a.c.
