Overview
The OTTO HP7 series is a momentary pushbutton switch with 10 million cycles and are available from Switches Plus components. These switches are rugged and rated to IP64 or IP68. As well as these, there are the Hall Effect Toggles, Thumbwheels, Joysticks and Foot Pedals.
Designated the HP7 series, these new momentary pushbutton switches utilize Hall Effect sensor technology for long life contactless switching, with 10 million operations typical. Available in dust tight and moisture proof sealed configurations, these switches can also be watertight sealed to IP68S. The stylish dome shaped pushbuttons are available in a choice of nine colors.
Case and bezel are precision machined aluminum alloy, available with either a black or clear coat anodized finish. Three case and button styles are offered in raised domed, flush dome, and exposed dome styles. PC pins and wire leads are standard, with value-added connectors available to specification.
This rugged switch is designed to withstand harsh environments while being subjected to high rates of actuation. Applications that require repeated “jogging” and other continuous operations from positioning switches are prime applications for the HP7 Hall Effect switch. Examples of such can be found in material handling equipment such as loaders, lift trucks, bucket and shovel and other applications where positioning of the load is critical.
