LB switches offer sleek, refined style

By Stacy Combest | April 24, 2013

The LB series, a line of 16mm miniature switches from IDEC, has expanded to include illuminated selectors, lever selectors, dome pilot lights, lever switches and buzzer models.

Projecting only 2mm when flush-mounted on a panel, these switches provide a sleek, updated look perfect for applications requiring a hygienic surface. LB switches are ideal for users with packaging machinery, commercial appliances, medical equipment, food and beverage processing equipment, semi-conductor equipment, non-industrial applications (train cab, parking machines, audio/visual equipment), water treatment, computer peripherals, machine tools, panels and more.

With a choice of metallic or black plastic bezels, and flush or standard bezels in square, round or rectangular, these switches add style to any application. Users can now choose from a complete family of switches including illuminated pushbuttons, pushbuttons, pilot lights, selector switches, key selector switches, illuminated selectors, lever selectors, dome pilot lights, lever switches and buzzers.

Illuminated selectors and dome pilot lights are now available in a choice of green, red, white, amber, yellow and blue. Unique IDEC LED/lens technology means these new models, as well as LB pilot lights and illuminated pushbuttons; provide bright LED illumination for superior visibility in nearly any application.

LB switches have a powerful 5A operating current and are available with a choice of SPDT, DPDT and 3PDT contact configuration to give design engineers more flexibility within a small package.

All LB switches are UL recognized, TUV approved, CSA certified and CE marked, as well as provide an IP65 degree of protection. For complete specifications or additional information on LB switches, click here.
