Emergency stop pushbutton switches minimise failures during emergency shutdowns

04-09-2019 | Mouser Electronics | Connectors, Switches & EMECH

Omron A22NE-PD Emergency Stop Pushbutton Switches, available now from Mouser, feature a Lock Detection contact that reduces E-stop failures during emergency shutdowns. This detection feature provides machines with an extra fail-safe mechanism by disengaging the contacts in the event of improper switch installation or damage to the lock lever. Built-in Push-in Plus terminals and IP65/69K-rated models make the device a reliable and robust switch solution for the harshest work environments.

The switches offer up to four contacts and include lighted options. There are 30mm, 40mm and 60mm operator heads available.

Typical applications include machine operating panels, high automation platforms, conveyor systems, food packaging, and automotive manufacturing.
