APEM has released what is claimed to be the first compact emergency stop switch with an integrated connector for simple mounting. Offered with solder lug terminal or a connector for easy integration, the EC series has a standard Ø22mm diameter bushing. This ergonomic emergency stop switch is vibration-resistant and ideal for employment on material handling, AGVs and off-road vehicles.

The emergency stop switch is claimed to be the only estop currently on the market with a connector terminal. Mounting is significantly simpler and safer as the connection between the switch, and the cable bundle is immediate. The limited under-panel depth and 22mm diameter bushing make it an excellent emergency stop switch for applications where compact design is needed.

The series is front panel sealed up to IP65 and qualified to the latest international standards EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-5.
