Wide range of styles for versatile PCB switch
The Series 96 PCB-mounting switch range from Sussex-based EAO has been specifically designed for use with modern electronic control systems.
They are now available in three sizes (12.7, 15.88 and 19.05mm square), offering designers greater choice for creating highly responsive and intuitive control panels.
The Series 95 is a multiple-element switch, facilitating up to three functions to be performed by one compact pushbutton: normally illuminated in one colour, press the button once and the colour changes, then press again and it changes to a new colour.
The unique actuation provides a clear, positive indication of circuit transfer, making them ideal for showing the different operating status of equipment.
