IM Series Momentary Push Button

Harsh and noisy environments, including those involving vibrations make the use of a sealed switch with a positive, tactile “click” essential. The IM series with its strong and audible tactile feedback responds to those needs.

MAIN FEATURES

  • Snap-action mechanism: audible tactile feedback, high voltage rating.
  • Enhanced safety, resistance to shocks and vibrations
  • Light plastic case
  • 2 bezel diameters
  • Matches the I series range design
  • Ergonomically adapted for use in tight spaces (handles & vehicles)
  • IP67 frontal sealing
  • 1 million mechanical life cycle at low level current
  • NC+NO function.
  • Very reliable in harsh environments.
