Internationally Approved Pushbuttons
Series JP
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.
Prominent external insulating barriers increase
insulation resistance and dielectric strength.
Constructed for dust resistance with
interior seal of polyphenylene
sulfide (PPS) between actuator
and contact area.
Specially designed to break light
contact welds.
Snap-action contact mechanism.
Terminals are molded in and epoxy
sealed to lock out flux, dust, and
other contaminants.
Outer case of heat resistant resin meet UL’s 94V-0
flammability standard.
