Discontinuation
All L6 switches will be discontinued
effective June 30, 2014. You are
strongly recommended to review
existing L6 accounts and order units as
deemed necessary. Orders will continue
to be accepted as long as we have
remaining inventory.
As a replacement for our current L6 series of
switches, LB switches have a powerful 5A operat-
ing current plus available SPDT, DPDT and 3PDT
contact configurations to give design engineers
more flexibility within a small package.
Projecting only 2mm from the front of the panel,
these switches also provide a sleek, updated
look perfect for applications requiring a hygienic
surface. With a choice of metallic or black plastic
bezels, and flush or standard bezels in square,
round or rectangular, these switches add style to
any application. Customers can now choose from
a complete family of switches including illumi-
nated pushbuttons, pushbuttons, pilot lights, selec-
tor switches, key selector switches, illuminated
selectors, lever selectors, dome pilot lights, lever
switches and buzzer models.
Priced competitively, LB switches are ideal for
customers with packaging machinery, commer-
cial appliances, medical equipment, food and
beverage processing equipment, semi-conductor
equipment, non-industrial applications (train cab,
parking machines, audio/visual equipment), water
treatment, computer peripherals, machine tools,
panels and more!
With enhanced specs, more features than before,
and great pricing, LB switches trump the com-
petition! All LB switches are UL recognized, TUV
approved, CSA certified and CE marked, as well as
provide an IP65 degree of protection.
