options on the panel
Ranges of pushbutton switches all fit industry-standard 16mm-diameter panel holes
Bulgin has brought out two new ranges of pushbutton switches designed to fit industry-standard 16mm-diameter panel holes. The first is a compact switch extending less than 21mm behind the panel. These single-pole momentary push-to-make switches are rated at 2A/48V DC and are capable of 100,000 operations at full load and 1 million mechanical operations.

These tough, attractive switches will find themselves at home on panels and equipment where a robust and but aesthetically pleasing switch is needed.
The second range of 16mm stainless-steel switches also have a polished stainless steel finish.
They are slightly longer behind the panel but boast many more features.
Rated at 3A/250V AC and capable of 30,000 cycles at full load and 200,000 mechanical cycles, these switches are robust enough for many demanding applications.
The MP0045 series have double pole switching with momentary or latching operation, and solder tag termination.
The two styles of buttons, flush and protruding, are also available with dot and ring LED illumination.
Standard illumination colours are amber, blue, green and red, and integral resistors allow operation from a 12V DC or 250V AC supply.
The extensive list of variations for these switches will allow their use in many applications where an attractive, but robust, small diameter switch is required. Request a free brochure from Bulgin Components....
