Omron covers switch to prevent accidental operation
Omron has extended its tactile switch range with a new version featuring a protective cover to help prevent accidental operation.
The new Omron B3F-8000 is ideal for use as a reset button in arcade games, a configuration button in
industrial control systems and in other applications where operation brings about a permanent change of machine settings.
The protective cover on the device shuts automatically after use, and needs to be removed to allow a new operation of the switch.
Omron’s B3F series of tactile switches includes 6 x 6 mm and 12 x 12 mm square models in surface mount
and through-hole form. The range includes vertical styles, versions with a high operating force and a long-life version, designed
for 10,000,000 operations. A switch with gold plated contacts, suitable for long term use in corrosive environments, has recently
been added. All B3F tactile switches feature a positive click action, and are supplied in SPST-NO form.
Omron has opened a European Switch Engineering Centre in Munich that can adapt B3F switches to suit
individual customer requirements for high volume applications.
