A16 Series: Compact Industrial Pushbuttons and Pilot Lights
The A16 series represents a comprehensive line of 16 mm diameter industrial pushbuttons, selector switches, and pilot lights designed for compact control panels and automation interfaces. These components feature a robust construction with IP65 protection ratings, ensuring reliable operation in dusty or humid environments. The series includes momentary and maintained pushbutton actuators, illuminated and non-illuminated variants, as well as key-operated selector switches with up to three positions. Electrical ratings typically cover 5A at 250VAC for standard applications, with gold-plated contacts available for low-voltage or dry circuit switching. The modular design allows for easy installation in panels up to 5 mm thickness, with snap-in mounting and screw-clamp terminals for secure wiring. Common configurations include flush, extended, and mushroom-head actuators, with color options such as red, green, yellow, blue, and white for clear visual indication.
These devices are primarily deployed in industrial control stations, machine tool panels, conveyor systems, and building automation cabinets. They are ideal for start/stop commands, mode selection, emergency stop functions, and status indication in manufacturing lines, packaging machinery, and HVAC systems. The compact 16 mm cutout size makes them suitable for space-constrained applications like handheld pendants, small distribution boards, and test equipment interfaces. Their ingress protection allows installation in washdown areas or outdoor enclosures without additional sealing.
The A16 series includes several subcategories: flush pushbuttons (A16-F series), extended pushbuttons (A16-E series), mushroom-head pushbuttons (A16-M series), illuminated pushbuttons (A16-L series), selector switches (A16-S series), key-selector switches (A16-K series), and pilot lights (A16-PL series). Typical article codes follow the pattern A16-[Type]-[Color]-[Contact Configuration], for example A16-F-R-1NO for a red flush pushbutton with one normally open contact. Other common codes include A16-S-2-2NC for a two-position selector with two normally closed contacts, and A16-PL-G-24V for a green pilot light rated at 24VAC/DC.
