EPM/EPG/EPS SERIES
EDGE ACTUATED TYPE
PATENT NO.: 29197
24553
153160

 

FEATURES

  • Edge actuated type (Piano Type) easy setting on closely racked PCB.
  • Tactile response is performed directly by larger contact pressure to ensure stable contact.
  • All plastics are UL 94V-0 grade fire retardant.
  • Bottom epoxy sealed standard to ensure free of flux immersion during wave soldering.
  • Contact wiping on make and break.
  • Gold plated or silver plated contacts to ensure low contact resistance and long operation life.
  • Ideal for data processing, communications, remote controls and burglar alarm system use, where manual programming required.
