Latching mechanism (must be manually reset after pressing).
✅ Contact Configuration:
Normally Closed (NC) – Breaks circuit when pressed (safety standard).
Optional: NC + NO (Normally Open) contacts.
✅ Electrical Rating:
10A/600V AC (typical industrial rating).
5A/250V DC (check model for exact specs).
✅ Enclosure (Box) Specifications:
Material: Plastic (ABS) or metal (aluminum/stainless steel).
Protection Rating: IP65/IP67 (dust/water-resistant).
Mounting: Panel-mount (22mm or 30mm cutout).
✅ Safety Compliance:
IEC 60947-5-5 (emergency stop standards).
CE, UL, TÜV certified (varies by model).
???? Applications
✔ Industrial Machinery (CNC, conveyors, presses).
✔ Robotics & Automation (safety shutdown).
✔ Medical & Laboratory Equipment.
✔ Elevators & Heavy Equipment.
