APEM Components, a leading manufacturer of quality switches and joysticks, has expanded its range of sealed pushbuttons with the introduction of its IZ series rear-mounted sealed pushbutton switches. The IZ series features behind-the panel mounting, ideal for applications where the switch is attached to a wire harness or a PCB. The IZ series pushbutton switch is available in a plastic or metal construction and is offered in momentary and latching configurations. The IZ series comes in both illuminated and non-illuminated models, and is offered with a flat actuator, ideal for optional marking. The switch is sealed to an ingress protection rating of IP67. The IZ series is the first pushbutton in APEM’s I range that features flush mounting. The metal case bushing is available in two versions, one for fixed panel thickness and one for variable panel thickness. The IZ series is customizable for a variety of applications with ten actuator colors, curved or flat actuators, four LED colors, and five termination options including: solder lugs, wire leads, straight PC (non-illuminated), quick-connect (non-illuminated), and screw termination(non-illuminated). • Degree of protection : IP67 • Temperature range : -40°C to +85°C • Total travel : 2,5 mm (.098) • Mechanical life : 200.000 cycles • Case : thermpoplastic UL94-V0 • Plunger : polyamide • Bushing/bezel : brass, nickel plated • Contacts : silver , gold plated • Multi-wire lead AWG20, section 0,6 mm2 • LED wire : AWG26, section 0,12 mm2 • Lens : polycarbonate • Terminal seal : epoxy • Max. current/voltage rating with resistive load : 100mA 24VDC - 200.000 cycles • Initial contact resistance : 100 m? max. • Insulation resistance : 1 G? min. at 500VDC • Dielectric strength : 1.500 Vrms between terminals
