NKK Switches YB2 Series Panel Seal Pushbutton Switches

NKK Switches YB2 Series Panel Seal Pushbutton Switches feature epoxy-sealed terminals to lock out flux, dust, solvents, and other contaminants, as well as to secure terminals and improve contact stability. The YB2 series pushbutton switches offer a snap-action contact mechanism that provides crisp actuation and clear circuit status. These pushbutton switches have a flammability rating of UL94V0 and meet IP65 of IEC60529 standards, providing dust-tight and splashproof panel seal protection. The YB2 series pushbutton switches have an operating temperature range from -25°C to +70°C and a minimum insulation resistance of 200mΩ, making them ideal for use in communication, medical and industrial applications.
