PBA ATEX Series Push Button

APEM PBA ATEX Series piezo switches are part of the PBA series including models with diameter 16, 19 or 22mm bushing. Sealed to IP68 or IP69K, easy to clean metal surface, long life (50 million cycles), ring or dot illumination, custom configurations. This series is approved according to the ATEX 2014/34/EU directive.

Approved according to the ATEX 2014/34/EU directive. The switch is sealed to IP66 (mounted on panel). Easy to clean metal surface. Long life (50 million cycles). Illuminated models

APEM Piezo switches are based on a solid-state output allowing for a very long life expectancy (more than 50 millions cycles), ideal for demanding applications where reliability is most important. The flat actuation surface is completely closed, preventing the intrusion of liquids or other contaminants, perfect for surface cleaning required in the medical and food-processing industries. High performance sealing (IP68 and IP69K) is achieved due to the one-piece construction of the switch. No external power supply is required. The screw-machined metal housing construction and APEM’s vertical integration allow for the manufacture of a variety of shapes.
