The revised switching element has a new design – in addition to a new housing colour, the previously transparent side walls have been replaced by black side panels made of high-quality V0 plastic. In general, the proportion of V0 materials has been increased, further improving safety in terms of smoke and fire resistant (in accordance with EN 45545). In addition, care has been taken to ensure that the new materials used meet the latest environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) criteria.

Typical applications

• Railway
• Industrial machinery
• Electrical control systems
• Automation systems

New, modern design and a long lasting, ultrasonically welded housing, but the same proven switching mechanism: EAO's characteristic click sound and tactile haptics remain unchanged in the new version.

Advantages

• Maximum safety thanks to high-quality materials
• Sustainable components with a long lifetime, responsible manufacturing and backward compatibility with earlier product versions
• Flexible installation options with five different connection types
• Various contact materials and contact configurations enable a wide range of applications, e.g. slow-make switching elements with positive opening action for emergency stop switches
• Snap-action switching elements with self-cleaning contacts and a unique tactile feedback

With this new version, we not only meet current requirements, but are also well equipped for the demands of the future – for greater safety, reliability and sustainability in vehicles and machines.
