NKK Switches:
MINIATURE 13.6MM ILLUMINATED PUSHBUTTONS
Monday, June 21, 2010

NKK Switches announces the availability of the LP01 Series of short
body, illuminated and non-illuminated, tamper-resistant pushbuttons.
The series’ minimal behind-panel depth makes it ideal for designs where
space is at a premium.
The RoHS compliant LP01 Series
features a short body behind panel depth of just 14.0mm. In addition,
the cap diameter is 13.6mm, making the overall diameter including the
housing just 20mm.
LP01 Series caps are smooth and slightly
concave, designed to accommodate the fingertip comfortably. The unique
design and construction also prevents cap removal, limiting the risk of
tampering. The switches come fully assembled and the
illuminated versions feature the option of red, green or amber LED
illumination and a translucent white cap. The LED is an integral part
of the switch design. The series features a crisp and
clean indication of circuit status facilitated by the snap action
contact mechanism. In addition, it is designed with an arc barrier
between the movable contacts to protect against arc short-circuiting
between circuits. LP01 Series switches are available in
both single pole and double pole momentary versions. The unique arc
barrier allows two different voltages to be used in the double-pole
configuration. With a mechanical life of 500,000
operations minimum, these devices are ideal for applications where high
usage is anticipated. Rated at 3A @ 125V / 250V AC or 3A @ 30 V DC,
these versatile pushbuttons also have UL94V-0 flammability ratings. The
series meets UL and CSA standards as well.
The LP01 is
available in both snap in mount and bushing mount versions. Terminals
are combination solder lug and 0.110 inch quick connect. They are epoxy
sealed to lock out flux, dust, solvents and other contaminants.
