A range of new options for Series 71 PCB-mount switches has been introduced by EAO. Coloured lenses with a choice of illuminated symbols including the popular on/off design plus ‘ring’ and ‘centre spot’ illumination are now offered as standard. These lenses are an excellent way to enhance the aesthetic design of a control panel and improve the industrial ergonomics of the operating environment, whether it's for a luxury yacht, a medical instrument, a piece of audio/video equipment or a public lift. They are equally good for refreshing an existing control panel with a completely new look to extend the product life-cycle.

There is also an aluminium dome lens in a variety of colours for flush-mounting actuators as well as the traditional full-face square or round illuminated lens.

The modular design enables actuators, lenses and mounting styles to be combined in different ways to create many different switches suitable for displaying functions. The design requires fewer parts, which further speeds up and simplifies the assembly process. Plus, they benefit from a behind-panel depth of just 44mm, which makes them the best solution for space-restricted control panels. They are quick and easy to mounting or dismantling from the PCB due to EAO's unique twist-release locking mechanism.

Series 71 switches are protected to IP65 from the front for use in general industrial environments, and they are CE approved. They are suitable for voltages ranging from 5 VAC / 10mA to 250VAC / 3A.
