WorldWide WCE announces a key addition to its illuminated pushbutton family with the launch of a new long-travel, side-operated switch designed to fit a wide variety of applications.
The TM 81 Fx-RA switch has an actuation force of 400gf and combines a long travel characteristic with a true tactile feel and audible click. These features are particularly useful in low ambient light and noisy industrial environments where operators require positive feedback from successful switch operation.
Illuminated by a single- or bi-colour LED, the TM 81 Fx-RA is mechanically stable when installed thanks to integrated fixing posts and through-hole mounting. The new switch features gold-plated contacts and a wide operating temperature range of -40ºC to +85ºC.
According to WorldWide WCE, the TM 81 Fx-RA switches are ideal for use in industrial and medical instrumentation, communications infrastructure applications, and in computing and networking hardware.
