OTTO’s P3 pushbuttons are sealed watertight and ideal for industrial, heavy equipment, and other extreme environments. These momentary action pushbuttons are sealed by a silicone boot operating on OTTO’s patented “rolling sleeve,” providing longer life and smoother operation over a wide temperature range.
High contact force, low contact resistance, and short contact bounce are the result of the pushbuttons’ snap-action mechanism. These characteristics provide exceptional current-carrying capabilities over the life of the switch. With the optional logic level (gold plate) configuration, the P3 is well suited to interface directly to computers and other solid-state devices.
Features
- Various mounting styles
- Nine button colors
- Momentary action, double break
- Up to 1 million mechanical cycle life
- Watertight to IP68S available in all versions
- Watertight to IP69K available in non-push-pull versions
- RoHS compliant

With 19 different series of standard detect switches, C&K offers the largest selection in SMT, through-hole, panel and snap-in chassis, and screw-mount versions. C&K’s detect switches are offered in a variety of sizes and shapes, with various actuator orientations including vertical or horizontal, top or side, or right-angle or left, and come with soft actuation force. These detect switches include low-profile, compact, micro- and ultra-miniature designs, with some sealed versions available.
Choose from traditional detect, snap-acting, tactile, magnetic reed, or door interlock styles for your optimum detect switch solution. In general, C&K detect switches operate at low current, occupy less space, and offer higher life cycles (100k ~ 1M).
Applications
- automotive (sensors, indicators)
- consumer electronics (audio/visual equipment, handheld devices)
- consumer devices (appliances, household goods)
- computers (peripherals, printers, infrastructure, servers/storage, IT)
- industrial (sensors, factory automation equipment, testing equipment)
