IN FRONT OF THE PANEL
Coordinated, attractive appearance.
AML features innovations designed byindustrial designers to achieve the best balance of human factors and aesthetic appearance. Operator height, bezel size,
and the compatibility of square and rectangular shapes blend with other components to harmonize your panel. There’s
no visual clutter to distract from man/
machine communication.
This comprehensive line of lighted and
unlighted manual controls features:
1 Pushbuttons for high and
intermediate frequency functions;
1 Rocker and paddle switches, with 2 or
3 positions, for less frequent control
functions;
1 Plus lighted indicators and
annunciators which complement
AML’s universal appeal.
Various controls can be matched with
their functions to accommodate the most
natural and efficient habit pattern reflex.
Keylock operated switches can be used
to assure ‘‘authorized personnel only’’
access.
Display flexibility. AML offers a choice of
five legend sizes, four button heights, full
or split section display, and illumination
by incandescent lamps, LED’s or neons.
Colors are brightanduniform, providing a
strong definition andgood visibility. (Nonilluminated devices have the sameattractive colors.)
BEHIND THE PANEL
AML’s simple, cost effective design provides many behind-panel benefits for the
designer and installer/user.
Simple to install. They snap in from the
panel front individually or in vertical or
horizontal strips; or in subpanel mounted
strips and matrices that can be pre-assembled and pre-wired to assure accurate alignment and efficient panel building.
Electrical flexibility. Solid state switches
with Hall effect integrated circuits
interface directly with microprocessors
and other logic level devices. These IC’s
were first applied inMICRO SWITCH solid
state keyboards. Today, many MICRO
SWITCH products incorporate the Hall
effect technology to meet a wide range of
position sensing and manual control
needs.
Electronic control switches with gold or
silver contacts, and 1, 2, or 4 poles, will
handle up to 3 amps. Including an encoded version which generates different binary coded outputs merely by changing
cam-keyed buttons.
Power duty switches meet line disconnect application needswith 10-amp pushbuttons and 15-amp paddle and rocker
switches.
Easy to wire. All AML devices present
single level termination. This means faster, easier, neater, and more economical
wiring. And there is a choice of solder,
quick-connect, push-on, and printed circuit termination.
MATING RECEPTACLES
The .110 × .020 quick-connect/solder terminal (types 2 and 8) is designed for use
with receptacles that comply with the UL
standard for insertion and withdrawal
forces. Maximum insertion force is 12 lbs.
max., withdrawal force is 14 lbs. These
receptacles are supplied by: AMP Inc.,
Berg, Augat, Hollingsworth, MALCO,
Zierick, and others. Refer to Thomas Register or the Yellow Pages for the location
of your local supplier.

MICRO SWITCH AML Advanced Manual
Line combines functional flexibility with
electrical versatility to provide a broad
range of options to choose from.
EASY TO RELAMP
Relamping of T-1-3/4 incandescent
AML91 lamps is accomplished from the
front of the panel without tools. (AML92
T-1-3/4 LEDs can be added in the same
manner.)
High Intensity LEDs For Full-face AML Lighted Display
AML92 Series
1 Full-face illumination for high visibility lighted colors.
1 Advanced illumination technology combines high-intensity LED in standard
T-1-3/4 wedge base lamp package.
1 Easy plug-in installation in AML lighted switches and indicators.
1 Low operating temperature permits high density, continuous operation with
minimal heat build-up.
FULL GUARD BEZEL OPTION
As an alternative to standard height bezels (.06 in./1,5 mm), pushbutton switches can be furnished with full guard bezels
extending .19 in./5.0 mm from the mounting surface. In the free position, standard
buttons are flush with full guard bezels.
The raised bezel guards against accidental operation by someone leaning against
or dropping something on a control console.
AML92 Series LEDs have a quad chip assembled in a T-1-3/4 wedge base lamp
package. They provide full-face illumination when used with lighted pushbutton,
rocker and paddle switches, or indicators equipped with incandescent lamp
sockets. For ordering information, refer to page 58.
