High-Performance
Arcade Pushbuttons
with integral minature gold-plated leaf switches.
- Gold-plated contacts.
No tarnishing nor degradation results in no deterioration in response.
The contact leaves and the external connections are fully gold plated.
- Low inertia
The moving part of the button is
ultra-light and only 10mm deep, unlike other types where the plunger
extends the full depth of the button.
- No Click
Leaf switch means no clicking micro-switch.
- No Plunger Spring
The body of the button contains no large spring. This results in a
uniquely low actuation force of 45 grams for the entire button.
- No Hysteresis.
This
is the difference in button depression for the contact close and open
points. On these buttons the position is the same, resulting in maximum
repeated actuation performance. On micro-switch buttons this "dead"
distance can be up to 1.5 mm.
- Concave top.
Most
serious gamers prefer the classic concave tops over the convex which
are commonly used on Japanese low-inertia buttons.
- Robust.
The limit stop of the button is supported by the button body not the
switch so no chance of switch damage owing to over-enthusiastic play!
- Compact integral design.
No fiddly assembly after fitting through the panel. Totally enclosed
leaf-switch contacts.
- Economic
Despite their performance these are similar in price to standard arcade
buttons and the price is all-inclusive, nothing extra to pay for add-on
switch options.
- Nut & Thread Fixing.
We have retained the traditional threaded fixing rather than
the
push-in design of certain other low-inertia buttons as we believe this
gives the most effective permanent mounting in all types of panel up to
19mm (3/4 in).
Connecting
your pushbuttons
These pushbuttons have 2.8mm connector tags.
For I-PAC hand-wired connections we sell packs of 100 crimp connectors.
For Mini-PAC pre-made harnesses, select the 4.7mm types, these fit
satisfactorily.
