AV1610P712R04

Pushbutton switches are initiating devices used to control electrical circuits. Pushbutton switches are used in many applications, from emergency stops to remote control systems for industrial, consumer and other applications. The AV1610P712R04 is a member of the pushbutton switch family, designed for specific and distinct applications.

The AV1610P712R04 is a 2-pole, quiet and exceptionally smooth-action pushbutton switch. It has a 4A rated operating current and a rating of up to 16A. The AV1610P712R04 is built rugged enough to handle harsh environments and provide reliable switching performance over long periods of time. The exemplary life span is over 10,000 operations.

The AV1610P712R04 is built using a dielectric construction. This construction limits the area of circuit conduction and reduces the potential of arc faults, providing dependable electrical performance. It has a rugged, IP65 environmental rating, making the switch ideal for a number of challenging environments.

The AV1610P712R04 is typically employed in applications involving hazardous areas, like those containing flamable materials or gasses. It\'s also used in weatherproof areas, such as applications involving heavy rain, snow, dust and salt spray. Other applications for the switch include retail and commercial uses, such as emergency stop buttons and access control systems.

The AV1610P712R04 works on the principle of a simple pushbutton switch. When pushed, the switch contacts come together and make contact, enabling a current to flow. Push the switch again and the contacts open, breaking the current flow. The switch can be configured with two bi-stable positions, allowing for two separate electrical states.

The AV1610P712R04 is also equipped with an LED that can be used to indicate when a switch has been activated. This feature is particularly useful when the switch is in a hazardous area, as it eliminates the need to be in close proximity to the switch while it is in an active state. This unique feature makes the AV1610P712R04 a highly versatile and cost-effective device in a number of applications.

The AV1610P712R04 is the ideal choice for a number of applications, such as integrating into control systems, providing access control, initiating emergency stops, managing traffic lights and more. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it a top choice for engineers and industrial professionals.
