961-BCG12H-CGO

961-BCG12H-CGO is a kind of panel indicator, pilot light, a basic component deployed for certain applications.

Application

The 961-BCG12H-CGO is commonly used for in-line button indicators, panel signalations, lighted pushbuttons, as well as indicator or pilot light applications. It is suitable for applications where a high number of mechanical switching cycles are required and it has the flexibility for a wide range of design.

Working Principle

The 961-BCG12H-CGO uses a pushbutton to establish a lightweight connection which is then maintained by a contact spring in the button switch. This also helps to reduce electrical noise. It further consists of two outside contact pins, though for use with higher current loads, a pole and neutral can be created when two outside pins are used.

The 961-BCG12H-CGO is a latching type device that once engaged remains in the same state until it is physically disengaged, meaning that current is going to remain constant and perform its task followed through its connected machine. This latching type mechanism of the 961-BCG12H-CGO is beneficial in terms of power consumption, as two separate electrical contacts are used in the latching mechanism – thus the current can remain low when the switch is situated in the operator position.

Design and Installation

The 961-BCG12H-CGO offers a snap-in connection, which makes assembly and installation easy. It is an ideal choice for low-voltage applications such as when less than two Volts are needed for the indicator, pilot light or LED. Additionally, it is an economical choice for panel or machine instrumentation in the industrial process control markets.

The 961-BCG12H-CGO also offers other benefits. These include the ability to select a wide range of colors for the LED and lighting, and a high degree of customization, allowing users to specify the LED configuration, the illumination sequences, and more. In some applications, manual switches and relays can be replaced by the 961-BCG12H-CGO for the control of machines, allowing for greater efficiency and accuracy.

Conclusion

The 961-BCG12H-CGO is a reliable panel indicator, pilot light, ideal for applications needing a low voltage switch. It is latching type unit which makes it less prone to power expenditure and the simple snap-in connection greatly simplifies the installation and assembly. It offers a high degree of customization and comes with a wide range of color options for LEDs and Illumination, making it a suitable and simple option for various industrial settings.
