On the verge of breaking out: the key role of Yijia LA 39 plastic push button switches in automation equipment
In the field of industrial production, the degree of automation is getting higher and higher, and industrial robots, as an important production tool, have been widely used in various industries.
In order to meet the demanding control requirements of industrial robots, Yijia has introduced the LA39 series of push-button switches designed specifically for industrial environments.
With its rugged design, high level of protection, various specifications and modes of operation, and easy installation, the switches are a reliable partner in the field of industrial robot control.
In the rapidly advancing world of industrial automation, reliable and high-performance components play a crucial role. One such unsung hero is the Yijia LA39 series of plastic push button switches.
These compact yet robust switches are on the verge of breaking out as a go-to choice for automation equipment manufacturers worldwide.
Rugged Construction for Demanding Environments
The Yijia LA39 push button switches are built to withstand the rigors of industrial settings. Key features include:
- Screw-fixed operation part connected to a middle base for excellent resistance to locking, falling and vibration.
- IP40 protection rating to prevent ingress of solid objects larger than 1mm.
- Wide operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C.
- Shock resistance greater than 10g.
This rugged construction allows the LA39 switches to reliably perform in harsh conditions where other switches may falter.
Versatile Functionality and Customization
Another strength of the Yijia LA39 series is its versatility. These 22mm diameter switches come in a wide range of configurations to suit diverse applications:
- Momentary, maintained, and illuminated button types.
- Selector switches in 2-position and 3-position, maintained or momentary.
- Key-lock selector and emergency stop mushroom buttons.
- Up to 8 switch elements in 1NO1NC, 2NO, 2NC and other contact combinations.
- LED illumination in voltages from 6V to 380V AC/DC and colors including red, green, yellow, blue and white.
This enables automation equipment designers to source different switch configurations from a single series, simplifying procurement and maintenance.
High Performance Switching
At their core, the LA39 switches use a self-cleaning, quick-action contact structure for reliable switching performance. Specifications include:
- Rated insulation voltage of 440V and rated thermal current of 10A.
- Low contact resistance of ≤50 mΩ.
- High electrical life of ≥200,000 operations.
- Minimum load of 5mA at 3V AC/DC.
These ratings make the switches suitable for switching control signals as well as small power loads. The electrical life in particular stands out, ensuring extended operation with minimal maintenance.
Enabling Automation Advances
With their unique combination of dependable performance, customization options and appealing price point, Yijia LA39 push button switches help enable advances in industrial automation. Potential applications span:
- Machine control panels and operator interfaces.
- Robotic and motion control systems.
- Process control equipment.
- Building and factory automation.
- Elevator and escalator control.
As the “eyes and hands” that allow human operators to interact with automated systems, the LA39 switches play a key role in the ongoing Industry 4.0 transformation.
Although not yet a household name, the Yijia LA39 series has all the makings of a future industry standard for 22mm push buttons. Forward-thinking automation equipment manufacturers should evaluate and consider designing in these highly capable switches.
Doing so can enhance end-product reliability and functionality while reducing costs compared to more famous brands. The LA39 switches are a rising star poised to break out and enable the next generation of automated systems.
