PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The advantage of the switches with snap-in mounting is that the switches can be assembled from the

front side of the equipment without additional fastening from the rear side. Due to this method of

mounting, the metal switches can be used in applications with limited assembly space or where the

access to the rear side of the housing is not possible. This means that the switches can adapt where

conventional switches will not be applied.

Furthermore, this type of mounting realizes cost savings by a significant reduction of assembly time.

The assembly becomes effective by the force fitting of the switch into the drilling hole, whereas the O-

Ring will be displaced. After inserting the switch through the drilling hole, the O-Ring expands and the

switch is fixed in the drilling hole. It must be pointed out that the panel cut-out is without flash and the

set-up of the drilling diameter has to lie in a minimum range of tolerance (+ 0.15 mm to the nominal

drilling diameter), so that a protective position of the switch can be guaranteed. Also the thickness of

the front panel is important as the position of the switch is determined by the panel thickness. By

using sharp objects the switch can be released from the front panel. Therefore, switches with such an

assembling technique are only suitable to a minimum extent in applications which are exposed to

vandalism.
