Process Sealed Subminiature Pushbuttons
Series AB
Distinctive Characteristics
Subminiature size (1/3 size of Series M switches) saves space on
PC boards.
Specifically developed for logic-level applications.
Totally sealed body construction prevents contact
contamination and allows time- and money-saving
automated soldering and cleaning.
Award-winning STC contact mechanism with
benefits unavailable in conventional mecha-
nisms: smoother, positive detent actuation,
increased contact stability and unparalleled
logic-level reliability. (Additional STC details
in Terms & Acronyms; see Supplement section.)
Molded-in, epoxy sealed or ultrasonically
welded terminals lock out flux, solvents, and
other contaminants.
.100” x .100” (2.54mm x 2.54mm) terminal spacing
conforms to standard PC board grid spacing.
Matching indicators available and shown at the end of Section M.

Standards & Certifications
UL Recognition
or CSA Certification:
The AB Series pushbuttons have not been tested for UL recognition or CSA certification.
These switches are designed for use in a low-voltage, low-current, logic-level circuit.
When used as intended in a logic-level circuit, the results do not produce hazardous energy.
