Two-For-One Switches Make Saving Space as Easy as the Push of a Button Smart Products. Simple Solutions. Sunnyvale– IDEC Corporation is thrilled to introduce the addition of HW7 Dual Pushbutton Switches to its HW Series. Unique to this series, these switches are dual pushbutton operators for your off-on or up-down applications. In anticipation of our customer’s needs, we offer the HW7 with a Momentary or Mechanical Interlock option. Interlock-types prevent the operator from pressing both buttons simultaneously and activating two contacts at once. Another great feature of these switches is that they come standard with a center pilot light. Available in full voltage and transformer types illuminated with LED or incandescent lamps, it’s easy to find the one that best fits your application. Keeping with our HW standards, safety and ease-of-use were of paramount concern in the development of this line of switches. The HW7 series uses finger-safe contacts and has a removal contact block adaptor with safety lock for easy installation. And in continuing our commitment to high-quality products, these HW7 switches are CSA approved; CE and TUV marked, and UL listed. HW7 switches feature IP40 protection (IP65 protection when using an optional, silicon cover).
