The EC series for PCB is a compact emergency stop switch with a panel cut-out of 22 mm. It is the market’s first PCB-mounted emergency stop switch that guarantees a high safety level, thanks to an extra locking ring that keeps the 2 parts together to avoid a floating mount. This high-level feature satisfies a critical need in many applications, especially those that need a compact e-stop solution with easy PCB installation.
Features
- Compact
- Resist to vibration
- UL qualified
- 2 poles for additional safety
- PCB mounting

IDEC now offers a new series of E-stops that provide an even higher level of function and safety to customers. These 30mm XN E-stops are the first and only with exciting, new technology to make machines even safer.
Features include our unique “Safe Break Action,” which ensures NC contacts will open if the contact block is damaged or separated from the operator due to excessive force. Direct Opening Action ensures that even if the contacts are welded, the force applied to the button will directly open the contact. A Safety Interlock Mechanism keeps contacts open when the operator is locked.
Inspired by the lockout concept, the new XN series of padlock-type E-stops were developed to prevent unauthorized or accidental resetting of latched emergency stop switches, by allowing the use of up to 20 personal padlocks*. XN1E series E-stops save space behind the panel with depths of only 47.7mm for up to four contacts. And XN5E series E-stops only extend 21mm from the front of the panel, ideal for applications needing a low-profile design.
Key Features
- Available in plastic bezel, metallic padlock, flush bezel
- Only 47.7mm depth behind the panel for up to 4 contacts (XN1E)
- Unique “Safe Break Action”
- Direct Opening Action (IEC60947-5-5, 5.2, IEC60947-5-1, Annex-K)
- Safety Lock mechanism (IEC60947-5-5, 6.2)
- Push-to-lock, pull/turn-to-reset built into one switch(XN1E and XN5E); Push-to-lock, turn-to-reset (XN4E)
- RoHS compliant, lead-free design, UL-listed, cUL, TUV, CE
