Technical Information
Series 76-91
A robust pushbutton switch designed for demanding environmental applications. The snap-
action switch mechanism provides high quality switching behind an ice-proof, flexible actuator.
The body of the Flexibutton is flame retardant to UL94-VO approval and the switch is panel
sealed to IP67
.
The range offers the choice of six button colours with solder/quick connect terminals as
standard. Single and double pole versions are available in momentary or alternate actions.
A locknut and sealing washer are supplied with the switch.

Panel Mounting
& Construction Information
The Flexibutton mounts easily into panels not exceeding 4mm thickness. Front panel sealing to
IP67 is achieved by use of sealing washer which is fitted to the switch before it is inserted into
the panel hole cut-out. Momentary single pole versions mount in a DIN standard 22,5mm
diameter hole, or by reversing the special locknut, will mount in a 25mm diameter hole.
Alternate and double pole versions mount into 25mm hole*. The locknut is then screwed on
from behind the panel to secure the switch in place. The tightening torque is from 1,5Nm to
2,85Nm.
*(For 22,5mm fixing on these versions, please consult the factory.)
