ABFD201N-R

Overview

Pushbutton switches are versatile devices used for a variety of electrical switching applications. In particular, the ABFD201N-R is a pushbutton switch specifically designed for demanding industrial applications. It effectively combines the advantages of having an excellent switching performance and a rugged construction. This switch is capable of delivering a maximum of 250 VAC at 16A and functions in both single-pole single-throw (SPST) and single-pole double-throw (SPDT) configurations.

Design & Features

The ABFD201N-R is a pushbutton switch that features a robust diecast aluminum body. It features a 2-position contact block, a black thermoplastic body, a red thermoplastic control element, and a variety of mounting options. This switch is suitable for high-contact density panel-mounted boards and leverages a capacitor design which provides a snap-action that reduces the risk of arcing or sparking. It also offers protection against short circuits, rust or corrosion and is IP67-compliant.

Application Field & Working Principle

The ABFD201N-R is designed for use in demanding industrial applications, such as oil and gas, material handling, and medical industries. It is ideal for machines, panel controls, and power switching applications. It is also suitable for use in a wide range of general-purpose industrial control applications.

The ABFD201N-R operates by mechanically pressing on the red thermoplastic control element, which creates a connection between the outside and inside of the switch. This connection of electricity creates a circuit to complete a task. Depending on the application and the type of switch, the circuit can either be closed or open. When the button is pressed again, the circuit is then broken, thereby stopping the task.

Benefits & Advantages

The ABFD201N-R is an extremely durable switch due to its strong diecast aluminum body and its corrosion-resistant design. It is highly reliable and also offers a good electrical performance. It has a high switching capacity that is able to handle up to 250 VAC at 16A. Additionally, it is UL94V-0 rated to ensure a high level of flame resistance. This switch also provides environmental protection with its IP67-compliant design, which makes it dust-tight and waterproof.

Conclusion

The ABFD201N-R pushbutton switch is designed for a variety of industrial applications and offers a reliable and robust switching performance. With its robust diecast aluminum body, IP67-compliant construction and high switching capacity, this switch is an ideal solution for industrial applications requiring high-contact density and an excellent electrical performance.
