Distinctive
Characteristics
Industry’s first molded pushbutton with TV rating. Designed to
handle large inrush current. JPM models certified for TV-5
rating and JPL models for TV-8 rating.
C
Prominent external insulating barriers increase
insulation resistance and dielectric strength.
Terminals are molded in and epoxy
sealed to lock out flux, dust, and
other contaminants.
Outer case of heat resistant resin meets UL’s 94V-0
flammability standard.
