The snap- action switch mechanism provides high quality switching behind an ice-proof, flexible actuator. The body of the Flexibutton is flame retardant to UL94-VO approval and the switch is panel sealed to IP67. The range offers the choice of six button colours with solder/quick connect terminals as standard. Single and double pole versions are available in momentary or alternate actions. A locknut and sealing washer are supplied with the switch.

Front panel sealing to IP67 is achieved by use of sealing washer which is fitted to the switch before it is inserted into the panel hole cut-out. Momentary single pole versions mount in a DIN standard 22,5mm diameter hole, or by reversing the special locknut, will mount in a 25mm diameter hole. Alternate and double pole versions mount into 25mm hole*. The locknut is then screwed on from behind the panel to secure the switch in place. The tightening torque is from 1,5Nm to 2,85Nm. *(For 22,5mm fixing on these versions, please consult the factory.)
