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.
And if servicing is necessary, the switches can be quickly snapped-off the contact blocks for ease of maintenance.
The Series 71 has a behind-panel depth of 44mm, and when combined with PCB mounting it offers major advantages where space is at a premium.
Installation is straightforward thanks to a unique twist-release locking mechanism, allowing easy assembly and disassembly without tools.
Where depth is not an issue, customers could choose from the comprehensive Series 61 range.
The standard snap-action switching elements feature gold-plated silver contacts with plug in or soldered terminals, and an appropriate adapter is available for PCB mounting, A wide range of different coloured lenses are available for both Series 61 and 71 pushbuttons, including red, yellow, orange, green, blue and white, with the option of either filament lamp or LED illumination.
All are protected to IP65 from the front and are designed to fit neatly into compact control panels. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
