Tactile Pushbutton Switches - APEM Components

APEM Components has released its LPI series illuminated pushbutton switches. With 35 mm dia actuator and actuation force of less than 1 lb, the LPI series suits various indoor applications where pushbutton needs to be located quickly.

Configurable to fit exact needs of end-users with over 20,000 possible configurations, LPI is offered with 9 different bezel colors, 5 LED colors, and illumination in dot or light-ring configuration. LEDs are available in 6, 12 and 15 V and actuator can be produced with raised crimps, screen printed emblems, or raised molded symbols.

For technicians: this pushbutton is available in 2 output versions, for front or rear mounting: a 5A combined separated NO/NC version and a 0.5A NO version. The low behind-panel depth allows installation in environments where space is critical.

For end-users: many different actuator types are available: with raised crimped, screen printed or raised moulded symbol. The large actuator surface allows a visible marking and a big symbol height. Dot or ring LED illumination is also available.
