IV Series Push Button

APEM IV Series momentary push button switch for embedded applications.

The IV Series push button is compact and features excellent tactile feedback and wide actuation surface to deliver an enhanced user experience. It is designed to have extended usability and increased accuracy, the IV series prevents unintentional actuation and an extensive range of design options to make the switch even more intuitive. Thanks to its watertight and sealed design, the IV offers an impressive longevity, with a durability of 2,000,000 cycles, guaranteeing a reliable performance even in challenging environments. For added safety, the electrical circuit architecture of the IV series is based on NAMUR sensor and includes a NAMUR contact to detect potential failures. The IV series is the best option for integration into joystick controllers, armrests, belly boxes on construction and heavy-duty vehicles. The IV series can also assist in transition from hydraulic to electric control systems.

FEATURES:

  • Total travel: 1.6mm ± 0.4mm
  • Typical operating force: 7.6 N ± 3N
  • Maximum applicable force: 50N
