EPG/EPS/EPH SERIES
EDGE ACTUATED TYPE

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.
