SWITCH TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT - WITH TYCO!

UNDER THE ALCOSWITCH BRAND NAME, TYCO ELECTRONICS OFFERS A BROAD PALLET OF MODULAR CONTROL SWITCHES AND INDICATING UNITS.



With ALCOSWITCH in the lineup, TYCO Electronics is able to provide a wide range of control and switching products for low-voltage circuit applications!

The switches feature protection against particle, dust and moisture penetration in accordance with IP65 (IEC/EN60529) and are ideally suited for use in low-voltage circuits for both AC and DC applications. The switch bodies are made of thermoplastic, with metal body actuators in round and square versions also available, and are designed for 22mm diameter fixings.

The comprehensive control switch range comprises momentary and maintained push-button versions, including illuminated and non-illuminated types, keylock and long-handle selector switches, push-button types with pilot lamps, and mushroom and emergency stop push-button switches.
The entire range meets all relevant safety directives, including CSA, CE and UL approvals, and a wide choice of accessories is equally available.

The thermoplastic switch bodies are centrally fixed using an all-new, ergonomically shaped lock nut, which can be easily and safely fitted by hand or by using the installation tool. Depending on the switch type, the operating temperature range can extend from -25° to +80°C, while mechanical life expectancy ranges from 200,000 to as high as 6 million switching operations. In addition, the non-illuminated pushbutton switches and pilot lights are available in colors according to IEC/EN60204-1.

TYCO's switch offering is complemented by a wide range of contact blocks and power supplies that have a quick-connect locking system, and which can be wired independently from the switch body. This provides a high degree of flexibility, as well as easy installation and maintenance!

The modular contact blocks offer a choice of screw or snap-in terminals, and are designed for rated voltages of 24 to 600V, and 10 to 1.6A of rated current. They furthermore provide short circuit protection to 1kA, thus meeting the requirements for C Group (VDEO1106) and Class II (CEI 23-11).
