Long-lasting Analog Pushbutton

June 1, 2009
The 145MA micro pushbutton is based on Hall effect technology and provides a 0.5V to 4.5V linear output proportional to the displacement of the actuator. 
Typical applications include control panels on industrial equipment, remote control, mobile equipment, machine tools or other machinery. The push-button is only 27mm long, with a diameter of 16mm, and can be mounted through a Ø12mm hole. A magnet moves along a Hall Effect sensor, located in the push-button housing. The total stroke is 4mm, and provides a ratiometric output voltage between 0.5V and 4.5VDC. The non-contact sensing technology is guaranteed to 2 million switching operations. The push-button operates in a range from -40ºC to +85ºC (-13ºF to +175ºF). A rubber boot provides IP67 protection above the mounting panel.Elobau Sensor Technology Inc.www.elobau-st.com847.615.0828
