Low Profile Pushbuttons
Series UB2
Distinctive Characteristics
Combination of PCB mountability and short body allows use in compact
applications.
Small behind panel dimension for snap-in mounting in tight spaces.
Snap-acting contact mechanism provides sensitive actuation
with audible feedback.
Latchdown mechanism, independent of
switching mechanism, gives visible, audible,
and tactile indication of circuit status.
Terminals are epoxy sealed to lock out flux,
solvents, and other contaminants.
Momentary and alternate action circuits
available in the same space-saving body size.
Illuminated models available and shown in Illuminated
Pushbutton section.
Matching indicators available and shown at the end of Section M.
