JAY-EL 10648 Illuminated Pushbutton Switch

The JAY-EL 10648 Illuminated Pushbutton Switch is a high-performance component designed to meet the rigorous standards of military and aerospace applications. Recognized under MIL-S-22885/77 on the Qualified Products List, this switch offers reliability and versatility for critical systems.

Mounting Options

The Mark 11 series, which includes the 10648 model, provides three distinct mounting configurations to accommodate various installation requirements:

• Type I: Features a mounting sleeve with rotating cams and a removable spacer, allowing the switch bezel to be mounted flush with a 0.220-inch thick edge-lighted panel.
• Type II: Supplied with or without mounting brackets, this type offers flexibility with brackets that can be customized to specific configurations, ensuring secure, shock, and vibration-proof mounting.
• Type III: Allows the switch housing to be removed from the front of the panel without the need to unwire, facilitating easy maintenance and replacement.

Sunlight-Readable Displays

The 10648 model is available with Display Type 8, featuring legends that remain hidden until illuminated. This design ensures that characters are readable even in direct sunlight conditions up to 10,000 foot-candles, utilizing advanced contrast-enhancing techniques.

Environmental Sealing

Engineered to withstand harsh environments, the Mark 11 series can be equipped with integral seals that meet splash-proof requirements per MIL-STD-108, high shock per MIL-S-901C, and MIL-S-22885 standards. This sealing is available for pushbutton styles B, C, and D, providing robust protection against environmental factors.

Pushbutton Styles

The 10648 switch offers several pushbutton styles to suit various applications, ranging from standard designs with a 0.53-inch square legend area to larger options measuring 0.64 x 0.84 inches, catering to diverse user preferences and requirements.

Switching Actions

The Mark 11 series provides multiple switching actions to accommodate different operational needs:

• Maintained Depressed Alternate Action: The pushbutton remains in the down position, offering a visual indication of the switch’s mode when not illuminated. Pressing it again returns the pushbutton to the up position.
• Momentary Action: The pushbutton returns to its original position after being pressed.
• Magnetic Holding and Alternate/Magnetic Holding Actions: These options are also available to meet specific application requirements.

Solderless Termination

To enhance ease of installation and maintenance, the Mark 11 series employs an Integrated Wire Termination System that accepts military-approved male pins conforming to M39029/1-101 standards. This design eliminates the need for soldering, streamlining the assembly process.

In summary, the JAY-EL 10648 Illuminated Pushbutton Switch combines advanced design features with robust construction, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications requiring reliable performance and environmental resilience.
