Omron A16 Series Pushbutton Switches Overview
The Omron A16 series features pushbutton switches with a detachable design, available in both lighted and non-lighted versions. The switches are characterized by their cylindrical 16-dia body and boast a miniature 28.5 mm size, which represents the smallest class in the industry. This line of pushbutton switches is notable for its easy-to-wire terminals and versatility, as it can handle both standard and microload contacts. Furthermore, the A16 series adheres to the EN 60947-5-1 safety standard.
Model Variants and Terminals
The A16 series offers a variety of models tailored to various needs, including round, square, and rectangular pushbuttons. The series provides models with different types of terminals: solder terminals, PCB terminals, voltage-reduction lighting solder terminals, and screw-less clamp models. Noteworthy models include A16L]-J, A16D]-A, and A16D]-T Series. On the other hand, it’s important to note that screw-less clamp connectors and PCB terminals might require special order considerations such as pricing and delivery timings.
Model Number Structure and Features
Omron’s model numbers for the A16 series consist of multiple elements that denote specific features, including the degree of protection (e.g., IP40 or IP65), contact configuration (SPDT or DPDT), and whether the model is lighted. Also, the switch operation type (e.g., momentary or alternate), pushbutton shape, color, and the light source (e.g., incandescent lamp, LED) can be identified within the model number. Color options available include red, yellow, pure yellow, green, white, blue, pure white, and an unlit black. Light sources cover a wide range of operating voltages, applicable for different use cases and requirements.
Additional Information
For lighted models, the LED is built-in and can be ordered in different colors and voltage types. It’s critical to note that solder terminals are only available with 100-V models and that the Voltage Reduction Unit is not an option for models with PCB terminals. The “T2” configuration is exclusively available for the Screw-less Clamp type. Comprehensive details on different unit combinations and their ordered sets, which include the pushbutton, lamp (for lighted models), case, and switch, can be found in the Ordering Information section spanning pages 3 to 7 of the full datasheet.
Safety Considerations
To ensure safe operation and handling, users are advised to refer to the Safety Precautions for All Pushbutton Switches and further Safety Precautions detailed on page 24 of the datasheet.
