Safety

Two-action removal of contact blocks

IDEC’s original, two-action, push-turn, locking lever provides a
higher level of safety by preventing unexpected release of the
locking lever. In addition, the position of the locking lever can
be used to verify if the contact block was installed securely by
checking from the back of the panel.

Locking lever integrated with guard

Prevents locking lever from unexpected release or damage by
trapped wires.

The IDEC commitment to assuring safety in all operating environments has resulted in stylish, compact and space-saving switches
and pilot devices. The innovative two-step locking lever integrated with a guard provides a higher level of safety, and the low
projection from the panel surface reduces the possibility of unexpected activation or operator damage. The CW series adds a sleek
and updated image to the panel with black or metallic bezels. The shortest depth behind the panel in its class, these switches help
reduce machine size.

Design & Style

2.5mm Bezel Thickness

Sleek and stylish switches with a 2.5mm-thick bezel

The CW series gives a sleek, stylish image to your machine or
control panel. Because of the slim profile, there is less chance of
unexpected operation or accident by hitting the switch. The design
also means that the switch is cleaner as it prevents dust build-up.

Space-saving design

A short depth behind the panel allows the switches to fit in smaller
machines and panels. Up to 3 contact blocks (non-illuminated
models) or 2 contact blocks (illuminated models) can be installed.
Use with IDEC FB series enclosures or other control boxes.

• 300V AC, 10A contact rating

• No transformer needed—the same depth behind the

panel—for any illumination voltage.

• Up to 6 total contacts per switch are possible

Short depth behind the panel

The depth behind the panel of the CW series is shorter than
conventional switches, reducing the amount of space needed in the
control panel.
