LP2S-16S-509-Z

Pushbutton switches are widely used in a variety of fields, from industrial applications to consumer electronics and automation. The LP2S-16S-509-Z is a special type of pushbutton switch that is designed for use in the aerospace industry. It is a flush-mount, tamper-resistant, momentary switch, which means it requires the user to press and hold the button down in order to activate the switch. This makes it ideal for applications where a high level of security is required.

The LP2S-16S-509-Z is a single pole-double throw (SPDT) switch, which means it has two positions and will either open or close a circuit, depending on its setting. Its output voltage range is 0.2V to 5V, and it has a maximum power rating of 1A at 125V AC. It is also thermally protected, which means it will shut itself off if it senses an overload or temperature issue.

One of the main advantages of the LP2S-16S-509-Z is its tamper-resistant design. It is designed to be impossible for unauthorized persons to access the button to activate the switch. This makes it extremely secure and perfect for applications in the aerospace industry where security is paramount.

In terms of installation, the LP2S-16S-509-Z is an extremely versatile switch due to its variety of mounting options. It can be mounted in either a front-panel or rear-panel position, making it ideal for incorporated into equipment with tight spaces. Furthermore, the switch comes with an optional waterproof seal, making it suitable for use in environments where moisture or liquids may be present.

The LP2S-16S-509-Z operates via the principle of a latching mechanism. This means that when the user presses and holds the button down for a certain amount of time, the switch will activate and remain in that position until the user presses and holds the button again. This makes the switch particularly suitable for applications such as emergency stop buttons and momentary switches that require the user to reset the switch after each use.

To sum up, the LP2S-16S-509-Z is an ideal switch for applications in the aerospace industry, due to its tamper-resistant design and versatile mounting options. Furthermore, its latching mechanism means that it is suitable for use in applications where the user must press and hold the button for a certain amount of time in order to activate the switch.
