The centrally positioned actuating button offers the ability to mount easily into a pushbutton switch, something that ITW Switches has taken advantage of by incorporating the microswitch in our series 76-94 and flexibutton. The series comes with gold or silver contacts and solder terminals as standard. PCB, solder/faston terminals, choice of contact forms and custom brackets and actuators are available as non-standard options. A two pole version is available in the form of the series 26. Switches also have UL, CSA and MIL-Specification approvals according to the version.
