Super-Compact E-Stop from Idec

New from Idec Electronics is the X6 unibody Emergency-Stop switch.   These compact units further enhance the already extensive range of pushbutton switches and industrial controls manufactured by Idec. 

With a body diameter of 16mm, the X6 series has a depth behind the panel of just 19.5mm, making it one of the most compact E-Stops on the market.  It is available with either single or double-pole normally-closed safety contacts, is panel-sealed to IP65 and rated for 100,000 operations.  The 30mm and 40mm red or yellow buttons have a smooth and ridgeless design to prevent the build-up of dust and dirt, making the X6 ideal for use in applications where cleanliness is a priority. 

It has UL, c-UL and TUV approval, and incorporates Idecs unique Reverse Energy Structure.  This patented design ensures that, in the case of accidental damage or tampering, the switching contacts remain open (ie. with the machine stopped).

The X6 series can be used in a vast range of applications, but its compact and fail-safe design make it particularly suited for use in exercise equipment or within the food-processing, test & measurement and medical sectors.
