IM Series Momentary Push Button

APEM IM series momentary push button harsh and noisy environments, including those involving vibrations make the use of a sealed switch with a positive, tactile “click” essential. The IM series with its strong and audible tactile feedback responds to those needs.

These are snap-action mechanism: audible tactile feedback, high voltage rating. Enhanced safety, resistance to shocks and vibrations.

Comes with a light plastic case. 2 bezel diameters. Matches the I series range design. Ergonomically adapted for use in tight spaces (handles & vehicles). IP67 frontal sealing. 1 million mechanical life cycle at low level current. NC+NO function. Very reliable in harsh environments.
