IV Series Push Button

APEM IV Series Momentary Push button switch for embedded applications. It is compact, featuring excellent tactile feedback and a wide actuation surface to deliver an enhanced user experience.

The IV Series push button extended usability and increased accuracy, preventing unintentional actuation and an extensive range of design options to make the switch even more intuitive. Thanks to its watertight and sealed design, the IV offers an impressive longevity, with a durability of 2,000,000 cycles, guaranteeing a reliable performance even in challenging environments. For added safety, the electrical circuit architecture of the IV series is based on NAMUR sensor and includes a NAMUR contact to detect potential failures. The IV series is also the best option for integration into joystick controllers, armrests, bellow boxes on construction and heavy-duty vehicles. The IV Series can also assist in transition from hydraulic to electric control systems.

FEATURES

  • Total travel: 1.6 mm ± 0.4 mm
  • Typical operating force: 7.6N ± 3N
  • Maximum applicable force: 50N
