New triple-LED illuminated audio switch launched
Developed specifically for audio, video, mixing-desk and lighting console applications, a completely new pushbutton that offers multicoloured illumination has been introduced by EAO
In particular, EAO recommends these switches for audio, video, mixing-desk and lighting-console applications.
Series 95 offers the choice to add up to three LEDs on the 15.88 and 19.05mm2 versions or up to two on the 12.7mm2 version.
The activation of each LED and the resultant colour change, lead by the PCB circuitry, makes them suitable for showing the different operating status of equipment.
The full-face illumination provides excellent visibility, even when viewed from the side, allowing users to view the status of each function at a glance.
For marking purposes, the diffuser can be either printed or engraved, or a film insert can be fitted between the diffuser and the lens.
A choice of concave and flat lenses is offered as standard.
Series 95s feature one N/O self-cleaning gold-plated switch element rated at a minimum 1mV DC/100uA and maximum 48V DC/50mA.
Their overall height is 24mm maximum.
They are suitable for mounting on PCBs between 1.5 and 2.5mm thick.
They can be snap-mounted to the PCB for easy flow soldering and require no positioning tool. Request a free brochure from EAO ...
