ø16 Switches & Pilot Lights

[ Bezel size ][ From panel front ][ Shape ][ Contact rating ][ Action ]

[ Operating stroke ]

Suitable for a wide variety of

office and factory aplications.

A6 Series

Light duty in short 22 mm body length. Flush bezel accessories can be used to change A6 series to Flush Silhouette switches.

• See website for details on approvals and standards.

Features IDEC’s original mechanism for snap-action switching.

The LED lamp contains a current-limiting

resistor and a diode for protection

against reverse connection.
