Capable of withstanding frost and icing conditions, the IF series of momentary pushbutton switches are good candidates for use in mobile and stationary remote controls for fuel, chemical and pneumatic delivery equipment. The switches have a 1.18" diameter black or red panel-mounting bezel with a flexible actuator. The actuator can sustain up to 500,000 cycles in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 85°C. Switch ratings are 400 mA at 32 Vdc or 100 mA at 50 Vdc, an insulation resistance of 1 gigohm at 500 Vdc, and a dielectric strength of 1 kVacRMS between terminals and mounting panel. Mechanical life is 1,000,000 cycles minimum. Available in seven colors, the pushbutton switches mount in 0.63" diameter holes. Mounting options are either a hex nut on the bushing or snap in. Price for a IFB3Z1AD200 is $3.87 each/1,000. APEM, Haverhill, MA. (877) 246-7890.
