A3A Lighted Pushbutton Switch

Compact Switch Allows Signal and
Power Switching with the Same Model

  • Compact, high-capacity push-button switch that has contacts with a 3-mm gap and is ideal as a power switch.
  • Capable of switching within the range of 1 mA, 5 VDC to 6 A, 125 VAC.
  • Requires only 14.5 mm behind the panel.
  • Options include the following:
    • Round or square
    • Momentary or alternate
    • Surface illumination or non-lighted
  • UL and CSA approved.

Note:
The above models each have a SPST-NO contact that can switch 6 A at 125 VAC, 2 A at 250 VAC, and 4 A at 30 VDC. When ordering any of the above models, replace □ of the model number with a code to indicate the pushbutton color of the model (i.e., replace □ with R, Y, G, L, A, B, D, H, and L). The pushbutton of an A3A does not illuminate if the color of the pushbutton is dark gray, gray, light gray, blue, or black.

Note:
The above models each have a SPDT contact that can switch 3 A at 125 VAC and 2 A at 30 VDC. When ordering any of the above models, replace □ of the model number with a code to indicate the pushbutton color of the model (i.e., replace □ with R, Y, G, L, A, B, D, H, and L). The pushbutton of an A3A does not illuminate if the color of the pushbutton is dark gray, gray, light gray, blue, or black.
