Seameless switch meets demands of shrinking world
EAO meets the demands of a shrinking world, enabling the series 61 E-Stop to be integrated into compact control panels, mosaic panels, and a wide range of machinery and process control equipement.
It is available with 2.54mm pitch pins allowing end-to-end or side-by-side stacking on 2.54mm pitch board.
Straight or 90-degree versions are available.
The 1K2 is offered as a single-pole-single-throw version, with a choice of two heights of actuator - standard or raised.
The raised actuator version makes it suitable for through-panel operation and the switch offers a clear tactile feedback when operated.
The contact material is gold-plated nickel, with a tropicalised version, including extra gold plating for operation in saline or damp conditions; it will operate in extremes of temperature, from -40 to +85C.
The 1K2 has a contact power rating of 6W and is capable of switching 24V maximum; maximum contact resistance is 22mohm.
Lifetime at nominal rating is 1000 operations or 10,000 mechanical operations.
The 1K2 has a fully sealed base making these switches compatible with solvent cleaning.
Typical applications include jumper replacement, circuit testing, on/off switch, factory setting and board configuration. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
