Omron's Built-to-Order Pushbutton Switch Program


SCHAUMBURG, IL (October 15, 2007)-Omron Electronics (www.omron247.com) announces
a build-to-order program for 16mm and 22mm pushbuttons, selector switches, emergency stop
switches and pilot lights that makes over 6,000 choices available from local stock, shortening
lead times to seven days or less. The switches are built on a new production line in Omron
Manufacturing of America's plant in St. Charles, Illinois. With product shipping from a Midwest
transit hub, customers can expect shorter delivery times to locations around the country.

A new Pushbuttons Build-to-Order Guide has been published to show the wide range of
options available in the program; request document A02I-E-01. In addition to the A16 and
A165 oil-tight 16mm switches and A22 oil-tight 22mm switches, Omron offers a
complementary range of buzzers (M2BJ), pilot lights in 16mm (M16) and 22mm (M22) sizes
and legend plates with standard and custom messages. For fast access to detailed
specifications and samples, customers can go to www.omron247.com, then enter Quick Link
code A063 for 16mm switches and Quick Link code A068 for 22mm switches.

The switches in the program are designed for "no-tools-required" installation. Omron's
innovative 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 offer round
and square models.

Build-to-order 16mm pushbutton switches start at $10.45 list price; 22mm pushbutton switches
start at $15.62 list price.
