Eaton Stay-Put Action Key Operated Switch

Eaton's stay-put action range of key-operated switches from the RMQ16 series is designed to simplify the process of buying individual components. Available with either momentary or maintained switching in 2 or 3 positions options these key switch actuators make it easy to select the right switch type for your electrical and industrial control needs. Ideally suited for industrial applications the front elements have an enhanced IP65 protection rating making them dust tight and protected against water projection.

These key switch devices can be butted together allowing a greater number of devices to be fitted into a smaller installation area compared to 22.5 mm devices. One or two normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contacts, which are available separately in this range, can be fitted to each switch. The colour coded contacts 230V/4A, having low current voltage switching offer a life expectancy of three million operations while the emergency-stop buttons also offer important features such as tamper-proofing.
