Product catalog summary
LED Component Specifications
The document outlines the specifications for various LED colors used in panel switches. Each LED color has a specified forward current of 20 mA, with typical and maximum forward voltages provided. For example, blue and white LEDs have a typical forward voltage of 3.3 V and a maximum of 4 V, while red LEDs have a typical forward voltage of 1.9 V and a maximum of 2.5 V. A resistor must be series-connected by the user, calculated using the formula: Resistor value = (supply voltage - LED forward voltage) / LED forward current.
Electrical Specifications
The switches have a maximum current/voltage rating with resistive load, with silver contacts rated at 4 A 12 VDC and gold-plated contacts at 200 mA 12 VDC. Initial contact resistance is 50 mΩ max, insulation resistance is 1 GΩ min at 500 VDC, and dielectric strength is 1,000 Vrms 50 Hz min. Electrical life varies by model, with momentary models lasting up to 1 million cycles for gold-plated contacts and 400,000 cycles for silver contacts, while latching models last 200,000 cycles.
Distinctive Features
The switches feature a threaded bushing, full actuator or symbol illumination, and are large yet lightweight. They are sealed to IP69K standards and can have pad printed or laser etched symbols.
Environmental Specifications
The switches are sealed to IP69K according to DIN 40050-9, with optional back panel sealing to IP67. They operate in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +75 °C (-40 °F to +167 °F).
General Specifications
The FP series includes fully illuminated pushbutton switches with a bushing diameter of 24 mm, available in momentary or latching models. Panel thickness ranges from 1 mm to 18 mm, with a total travel of 2.5 mm ± 0.5 mm and a typical operating force of 8 N ± 2 N. The switches have a mechanical life of up to 1 million cycles for momentary models and 200,000 cycles for latching models.
Materials
The case is made of PA46, the actuator of PA12, and the bushing/bezel of PA66. Contacts are available in silver or silver with gold plating. The cable length is 300 mm, with the section depending on the switch model. Terminal seals are made of epoxy or overmolding.
Wiring Diagram and Symbols
The document includes wiring diagrams and a comprehensive list of symbols for fully illuminated pushbutton switches, adhering to ISO 7000 standards for graphical symbols on equipment.
