With The Push Of A Button (13261)

Built-to-order switch program offers increased selection, faster delivery and local production.
Omron Electronics has announced a build-to-order program for 16- and 22-mm pushbuttons, selector switches, emergency stop switches and pilot lights—over 6,000 choices are now available from local stock according to the company.

The switches are built on a new production line in Omron Manufacturing of America’s plant in St. Charles, IL. With product shipping from a Midwest transit hub, customers should expect shorter delivery times to locations around the country.

A new Pushbuttons Build-to-Order Guide (document A02I-E-01) has been published to display the range of options available in the program.

In addition to the A16 and A165 oil-tight 16 mm switches and A22 oil-tight 22 mm switches; Omron also offers complementary:
  • Buzzers (M2BJ).
  • Pilot lights in 16 mm (M16) and 22 mm (M22) sizes.
  • Legend plates with standard and custom messages.
The switches in the program are designed for “no-tools-required” installation. According to the company, the two-piece, snap-together construction for A16 and A22 switch series reduces installation time, wiring time, and panel depth requirements.

Machine designers and panel builders can choose from:
  • Lighted and non-lighted pushbuttons.
  • Lighted and non-lighted selector switches.
  • Keyed selector switches.
  • Lighted and non-lighted emergency stop switches and pilot lights.
The A16 series offers round, square and rectangular models; the A22 series offers round and square models.
