APEM IG Pushbutton Switches

APEM IG Pushbutton Switches support different voltages for LED backlights, last-minute snappable plungers, and strong tactile feedback. These switches feature a 12mm bushing size and 1GΩ insulation resistance at 500VDC. The IG pushbutton switches offer 1500Vrms dielectric strength between the terminals and 100mohms maximum initial contact resistance. These switches operate from -40°C to 85°C temperature range and incorporate front panel sealing. The IG pushbutton switches are used in joystick controllers, armrests, and handheld applications.
