EAO Series 82 Pushbuttons – Enhanced protection. Fast mounting.

IP67 front and rear sealed 316L Stainless steel Pushbuttons with integrated M12 connector.

EAO, the expert partner for innovative, intuitive and reliable Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs), has extended the robust and attractive Series 82 with an overmoulded option and M12 connector. The new 22mm mounted version in food grade stainless steel is offers fast mounting as well as complete front and rear IP67 protection.

It is common to expose actuators and indicators to extremely harsh operating conditions. For example in the food & beverage industry, where alkaline cleaning agents and corrosion severely affect HMIs. In addition, external factors in the form of hard-to-remove dirt, fine dust, along with severe vibrations and blunt impacts commonly encountered in heavy duty and special vehicles applications also require HMIs to offer a very high level of resistance.

Typical applications

Food and beverage industry
Heavy duty & special vehicles
Buses and coaches
Marine applications

The overmoulded version of the Series 82 is capable of meeting these strict requirements offering reliable enhanced protection. These attractively designed illuminated pushbuttons feature a housing made from SUS 316L stainless steel and a Tritan light guide resistant to cleaning agents. These design features provide protection against wear and ensure consistent clarity of both the dot and the ring illumination.

Advantages of the overmoulded version

Complete IP67 protection for illuminated pushbuttons
Tritan light guide resistant to cleaning agents
Housing made of SUS 316L stainless steel
High resistance to vibration and impact
M12 connector for fast and resilient mounting
24VDC illuminated versions available with red, green, white or blue LEDs

The switches utilise a robust M12 connector. This connection method saves customers time when it comes to mounting as well as enabling a highly resilient HMI connection. The rear of the device is also IP67-compliant thanks to the overmoulding of the switch and connector, ensuring that the HMI has complete and reliable protection. The overmoulded version also offers very high resistance to vibrations and impact.
