AB15AH-FA

Pushbutton Switches have been a part of automated systems for decades. An AB15AH-FA Pushbutton Switch is a North American designed pushbutton switch designed for safety and aesthetic applications alike. It features easy installation, longevity and is capable of operations under tough conditions.

Design Features & Benefits

The AB15AH-FA Pushbutton Switch is a snap-action pushbutton switch. It is comprised of two elements: a momentary contact element and a spring return contact element. The contact elements are derived from tools-hardened tempered steel that is gold plated to reduce the risk of contact arcing or erosion over time. The button is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably into the hand and provides tactile feedback when used. The entire assembly is encased in a NEMA Grade water-resistant, dielectric sealed, UL (Underwriters Laboratories) approved metal housing.

Main Application Field

The main application field of the AB15AH-FA Pushbutton Switch is in industrial & commercial settings. It is often used in automation equipment, machine tool operations, packaging machinery, agricultural equipment and general-purpose applications. It can also be used for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and aftermarket applications in a variety of industries.

Working Principle

The AB15AH-FA Pushbutton Switch works by activating a momentary contact that is held in place by a spring return contact. When the momentary contact is pressed, electric current is sent to the device that is connected to the switch. When the button is released, the spring return contact returns the switch to its initial state and the electric current is interrupted. This type of switch is typically used to actuate or deactivate an automated process at the press of a button.

Conclusion

The AB15AH-FA Pushbutton Switch is a reliable switch designed for use in industrial and commercial settings. It is made from durable materials and is UL approved. It is designed for easy installation and operation, and can handle tough conditions. Its spring return contact ensures the switch returns to its initial state after use, making it safe and reliable for automation applications.
