Pushbuttons and Pilot Lights

Since 1958, IDEC has developed control switches that provide users with the highest levels of safety and reliability. The latest addition to our family of industrial control switches, with diecast zinc mounting threads, the TWND series of 30mm switches is a complete line of non-illuminated and illuminated pushbuttons, non-illuminated and illuminated selector switches, key selector switches, pilot lights and E-stops. This heavy-duty switch is designed to be used in harsh industrial environments including automotive, food and beverage, metal working, textile machinery, papermill, packaging machinery, farm and agriculture equipment, transportation and more. Users can rely on TWND switches to endure and last even in the toughest and most extreme environments, as these switches meet the highest standards for UL, TUV, CSA, CCC, and are also CE marked.

The IDEC commitment to assuring safety in all operating environments has resulted in stylish, compact and space-saving switches and pilot devices. The innovative two-step locking lever integrated with a guard provides a higher level of safety, and the low projection from the panel surface reduces the possibility of unexpected activation or operator damage. The CW series add a sleek and stylish image to the panel with black or metallic bezels. The shortest depth behind the panel in its class contributes to reducing machine and control panel size.

If you are looking for robust pushbuttons that perform in extreme application environments, you are at the right place. Conventional pushbuttons are electro-mechanical devices designed for regular industrial applications with up to IP66 protection. They typically have seams between the buttonhead and the mounted operator, which may trap moisture, dust, debris or germs. With no moving parts, IDEC piezo switches are solid state switches designed for the most demanding conditions from sub-freezing to high-temperature / high-pressure washdowns, far exceeding the limits of conventional pushbuttons. All IDEC piezo switches are built with LED illumination to provide visual feedback indication. The LED ring or dot is translucent when off. Models with dual-color illumination make multi-functionality possible with solid or flash of different colors.

With a choice of metallic or black plastic bezels, and flush or standard mounting, our newest 16mm switches add style and safety to any application. All LB switches are UL recognized, TUV approved, CSA certified and CE marked, as well as provide an IP65 degree of protection. Available in illuminated pushbuttons, pushbuttons, pilot lights, selector switches, key selector switches, illuminated selectors, lever selectors, dome pilot lights, lever switches and buzzer models, these switches are perfect for use with instrumentation, communication equipment, computer peripheral, telecom, medical equipment, food and beverage processing equipment, semi-conductor equipment, non-industrial applications (train cab, parking machines, audio/visual equipment), panels and more! Projecting only 2mm in front of the panel, flush mount switches offer a streamlined package, perfect for applications requiring a hygienic surface. A smooth design cuts down on surface area, preventing dust and other particles from accumulating and making regular cleaning and maintenance a breeze.

Safe and space-saving, the contact block only protrudes 27.9m behind the panel, compared with 45mm for most conventional 16mm switches. Plus a built-in locking function ensures that the contacts are secure when mounted.

Combining the 22mm size of a typical industrial pushbutton with low-level double throw contacts usually found on miniature 16mm switches, the LW Series offers a unique solution to your control applications.

IDEC's exclusive, light touch mechanism is ergonomically designed to require minimal force and reduce repetitive strain injuries. A choice of three terminal types from PC board, to .110 solder-tab / quick-connect, to screw terminals, the LW series has an answer for almost any application. A locking lever removable contact assembly makes wiring harnesses and PCB designs a breeze.

All switches mount on 1.0 centers. Models include illuminated and non-illuminated pushbuttons, pilot lights, selectors, and key switches. Contacts are available in SPDT, DPDT, or 3PDT with either pure silver or gold plated contacts.

The CS series of cam switches offer the ultimate in selector switch flexibility. Available up to 12 positions, with up to 20 contacts they can meet almost any selection need. Choose from four different detent angles. Staggered screw terminals allow for easy wiring, and a large variety of handle styles are available (including key operated) to satisfy almost any demand either aesthetic or functional. Standard contact configurations are available, but customization is what cam switches are all about.
