KB16CKW01-5C24-JB

Pushbutton switches are a type of switching device used to turn electricity on or off in an electrical circuit. KB16CKW01-5C24-JB is one of such pushbutton switches used in various applications.

The KB16CKW01-5C24-JB is a single pole, two-position, normally open momentary pushbutton switch. It is designed to be used on panel-mounted light switch, equipment, and signal systems. The switch is enclosed in a black, impact-resistant and flame-retardant plastic case. It is sealed to ensure a dust- and water-resistant operation.

The KB16CKW01-5C24-JB is easy to install and use. The switch is mounted in a panel opening with an M4 plastic nut provided in the kit. Electrical contact is made between the switch and the panel via 4 M4 solder-loaded copper contacts in the body of the switch, these contacts are protected from damage by an over-mold of plastic and brass nuts that secure the switch to the panel.

Despite its small size, the switch is rated for 10A@125VAC for 1/4HP motors or other equipment. The maximum switch operating temperature is 65°C. The switch is LED illuminated so that it can be used in dark conditions and dark corners. The LED is available in two colours- white and blue. For safety, the switch is designed with double-side terminals.

The KB16CKW01-5C24-JB is typically used in the operation and control of pumps, fans, and other process equipment in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It can also be used in low voltage, voltage monitoring, and status systems in industrial plants, commercial buildings, and residential systems, such as doorbells and interior lights.

The working principle of the KB16CKW01-5C24-JB is relatively straightforward. When the switch is pressed, a toggle arm closes the contacts and completes the circuit, allowing electricity to flow. When the switch is released, it springs back to its normal open position, breaking the circuit and stopping the flow of electricity. This switch is meant to be used as a momentary switch, meaning it is only actuated for a brief moment before it is released.

The KB16CKW01-5C24-JB is a dependable and versatile switch, providing reliable performance under a wide range of temperatures and conditions. Its LED illuminated design ensures visibility for easy and precise operation, making it an ideal choice for any application where precise control is required. The switch is also dust- and water-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use or in areas where dust or water might be present.
