Issue:
Difference between trigger action and non-trigger action pushbuttons
Product Line:
Harmony XB4/XB5
Environment:
US product
Cause:
What is the difference in size and actuation of trigger action pushbuttons
Resolution:
Trigger action pushbuttons are impossible to partially engage the contacts. The trigger action causes the operator to snap over from one state to the other once engaged past a point of no return. For safety applications and emergency off/stop applications, this is the preferred method. In general, trigger actuated pushbuttons are 5mm longer than the non-trigger action counterparts.
