IA Series Push Button

The IA series actuator consists of a polyurethane membrane which depresses when the switch is actuated. The membrane is press fitted onto the bushing, providing an IP67 front of panel seal and ensuring high resistance to frost and external contaminants. The actuator material provides a soft feel and allows easy operation even with gloved hands. The low profile design allows easy actuation when the switches are matrix mounted.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Resistant to frost, sand and hydrocarbons
  • Tactile feedback
  • Front panel sealed up to IP67
