Foremost Electronics<\/a><\/strong> now offers a range of 22mm control panel switches from IDEC with secure screw-less push-in terminations which greatly reduce assembly time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commonly used in control panel and machine building applications the Push-In termination technology option is available on the industry standard YW and HW series and the CW series (flush mounting) switches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of these three series of switches are for 22mm mounting and available as a push button (with and without illumination), selector switch, key selector switch and pilot light\/indicators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years wire termination technology has slowly migrated away from the traditional screw connector and moved towards \u2018screw-less\u2019 terminations. This was first seen on the simple DIN rail terminal and then on to other hardware such as PLCs, relay sockets and more. Initially this change to screw-less was done with a \u2018spring clamp\u2019, however this still required a screwdriver to open the spring to allow the cable to be inserted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More recently, the spring clamp has taken a step sideways and the \u2018push-in termination\u2019 has taken the lead. This simple, safe and smart connectivity is now referred to by IDEC as the S3 termination. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the PUSH-IN connection technology, the force on the conductor is generated by a pressure spring made of high-quality stainless steel. The spring sits in a cage and is automatically opened upon connection and only released when a release tool is used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alan Vincent, Sales Director of Foremost, comments, \u201cIt\u2019s often said that time is money. The IDEC S3 push-in principle now greatly reduces the amount of time required to wire a control panel. A recent study demonstrated a time saving of up to 55% when compared to more traditional methods, while still providing a high conductor retention force and a complete way of handling multiple conductor types.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three IDEC switch series with push-in connectivity are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost-effective YW series (22 mm industrial switch family) which delivers all the key features required by the industrial automation market including push button, illuminated push button, key and selector switch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where the style of a product is important and must be matched by high performance the CW series (22 mm flush design industrial switch) is a popular solution. This product range commonly is used in medical appliances, consumer applications and the food industry, where aesthetics and reliability are the key to success. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HW series (22mm industrial switch) is IDEC\u2019s largest portfolio of switches and actuators for the industrial automation market and includes rotary switches, selector switches, combined rotary and push-button, 4 or 5 position selectors and many more options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
