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
