South El Monte, CA -September 16. 2003- Electro-Mech Components, Inc. introduces the 644-2100 Series Multi-Function/Multi-Image Lighted Pushbutton Switch, offering an immediate solution for space-conscious display installations on instrumentation and control panels where designers must provide greater system feedback and control functions to the operator while available panel space continues to shrink.

Offering dual and quad lighted displays and switch functions, the 644-2100 Series can be singly used in place of up to four individual switches, to reduce panel mounting requirements by up to 75%. Available in a variety of different lens cap, legend and filter materials, the unit is capable of display configurations in split, quadrant or full segments, and can provide both continuous visible legends and hidden legends that become visible when switch functions are activated. Press-on secure lens caps are available in a variety of materials to also provide exacting front panel installations, important to ergonomics, safety and appearance.

The 644-2100 installs from the front of the panel and attaches via a mounting sleeve that retains the switch housing, fitting into an industry-standard 0.698" square hole. With easy lamp replacement from the front, the unit accepts both T-1 (3mm) sub-midget flange-based lamps and LEDs, offering maximum brightness and redundancy. Switch action is available in momentary, momentary snap-feel, or alternate action, from SPST to DPDT functionality for maximum display versatility in a compact package.

The 644-2100 Series lighted pushbutton switch ratings are 2.0A resistive, 0.5A inductive, with operating pressure of 2 lbs. ± 1 lb (909g ± 454g), plunger travel 0.187 inch, nominal (4.7mm), and is capable of 100,000 minimum actuations. Lamp circuits are independent. Standard EMC solder lugs are silver plated (gold plating optional) and accept 20AWG wiring (PC pin terminals are available). The switch housing requires less than 3.0 inches behind display panel. The unit is designed to meet applicable military and stringent commercial standards, including seal, moisture resistance, vibration, temperature, shock and environmental requirements, and is rated to IP64 protection
standards.
