Control Switches and Signaling Devices, 22.5mm Metal Series
This range of 22.5mm metal series pushbuttons, selector switches, illuminated switches and pilot lights have been designed to provide the following
features:
• Economy of space
• Self wiping contacts
• RoHS compliant
• Simple to mount (only need a screw driver)
• Mounting method is unaffected
by excessive vibration
• Electric shock protection (grounded unit)
• Aesthetically pleasing
• Heavy-duty construction
• Shrouded terminals
• Very good flame resistance
• Use of LEDs for long life
Actuators
The circular actuators have chrome plated metal bezels and are functionally interchangeable on the different contact elements.
40X30
Contact elements
The contact elements are double break and have self-wiping contacts. The elements are
interchangeable and can be stacked without additional hardware. 1 to 6 elements (NO or NC)
can be used for non-illuminated actuators, whereas, 1 to 4 elements (NO or NC) can be used
for illuminated actuators. Gold NO or NC contact elements for low voltage, low current, < 25mA,
switching applications are available.

Illuminated pushbuttons and pilot lights
Pilot lights and pushbutton switches are suitable for direct connection through a series resistor, series resistor and diode, using bayonet cap filament
bulb type BA9s as follows:
Supply voltage for direct connection without series resistor . . . . 6V - 130V
Supply voltage through series resistor . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 12V - 415V
Supply voltage through resistor and diode . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 230 VAC
Bulb . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Filament, type BA9S with OAL max. 28mm
Terminals
Contact elements and pilot lights are designed to have shrouded terminals with combination screws.
Mounting
The metal series control devices 22.5mm can be mounted in any position
on panels of 1 to 6 mm thickness. We recommend minmum mounting centers
of 30mm x 40mm. However, the dimensions and configuration should be
decided on the basis of the application. The actuators and the lens
assemblies lock on the holding bracket. See assembly details.
