Currently, Foremost Electronics offers a range of 22mm control panel switches from IDEC that provide secure screwless plug-in terminations, which greatly reduces assembly time.
Push-in terminal technology is commonly used In control panel and machine building applications and is available as an option In industry standard YW and HW series and CW series (embedded mounted) switches. These three series of switches are mounted for 22mm and provide a button (with and without lighting), selector switch, button selector switch and indicator/indicator light.
Foremost's director of sales Alan Vincent comments: "They often say time is money. Now, the IDEC S3 insertion principle drastically reduces the time required to connect to the control panel. A recent study showed that this method saves up to 55% of the time compared to traditional methods, while still providing high conductor holding force and a complete method for handling multiple conductor types."
The three IDEC switch series with plug-in connections is the cost-effective YW series (22mm industrial switch series) that provides all the key functions required by the industrial automation market, including push buttons, illuminated push buttons, push buttons and selector switches.
CW series (22mm flush design, industrial switch) is a popular solution when product style is critical and must be matched with high performance. The product line is used in medical devices, consumer applications and the food industry, where aesthetics and reliability are important.
The HW series (22mm Industrial switches) is the largest product portfolio of switches and actuators in the industrial automation market. It includes rotary switches, selector switches, combined rotary and buttons, four - or five-digit selectors, and more options.
