Technical Information
Series 59
The Series 59 is a range of miniature, momentary action, rugged panel sealed pushbutton
switches.
The Series is available with square or round bezel versions, with or without LED status
illumination.
A locknut is supplied with each switch.
A choice of body material is provided of either a non spark zinc alloy or a hard wearing
moulded PBT therefore making this switch suitable for use in most applications. It is panel
sealed to IP67 and is designed to be impact resistant. The small size, robustness and panel
sealing make this switch ideal in harsh environments.
Non-Illuminated Version
The non-illuminated range includes a choice of 7 button colours with solder terminal
connection. PCB terminals, a high round bezel, surface and sublimation printing are available as
non-standard.
Status Illuminated Version
An illuminated version is available in the round bezel versions with a choice of 3 button colours
and 2 high brightness LED colours. Non standard options include additional button and LED
colours (subject to minimum order quantities).

Panel Mounting
& Construction Information
The Series 59 mounts easily into panels of minimum 1,5mm and maximum 3mm thickness.
Front panel sealing to IP67 is achieved by the use of a sealing ‘O’ ring which is fitted behind
the bezel of the body of the switch before it is inserted into the panel hole cut out. It is held
onto the panel by means of a brass locknut, tightened down by a 14mm spanner, to a torque
of between 1.0Nm to 2.0Nm to achieve the correct sealing pressure.
A ‘D’ flat is provided to prevent rotation.
