IEC Style Industrial Switches
Building on a long history of pushbutton
dominance, IDEC offers its internationally rated 22mm pushbuttons and
pilot devices, the HW series. These IEC style devices feature
tamperproof mounting and construction, modular stackable contact blocks
with IP20 fingersafe screw terminals, and pure silver contacts with a
self cleaning action. Models include illuminated and non-illuminated
pushbuttons, pilot lights, selector switches, key switches, mono-levers,
pushbutton-selectors, and Emergency Stop switches.
Safety and ease of use were of paramount concern in the development of
this line of switches, as evidenced by the simple mounting procedure,
mechanically keyed safety lever lock (to prevent contact separation in
heavy vibration applications), and wide variety of Emergency Stop models
(all of which meet EN418).
Unique to the HW series is the HW Unibody E-Stop, which features one
piece construction that prevents tampering or incorrect mounting from
hindering the functionality of the switch. Another first are the spring
loaded captive screw terminals, which make ring terminal wiring easier
than ever before.
