Based on the model number **M2PV-C23-R2/UL**, this refers to a specific industrial **Emergency Stop (E-Stop) Pushbutton Switch** manufactured by **IDEC**. This component is part of the M2 series, designed for safety-critical hardware interfaces. ### 🛠️ Technical Specifications Breakdown | Feature | Specification | Description | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Series** | M2 Series | Compact, space-saving industrial switches. | | **Operator Type** | Mushroom Head | 29mm or 40mm "Non-Illuminated" red button. | | **Action Type** | Pushlock Turn Reset | Stays locked when pushed; requires a twist to release. | | **Contact Configuration** | 2NC (2 Normally Closed) | Standard safety configuration for fail-safe circuits. | | **Mounting Hole** | 22mm | Standard industrial cutout diameter. | | **Rating** | 600V / 10A | Heavy-duty electrical rating (AC-15/DC-13). | | **Certification** | UL / c-UL / CE | Meets North American and European safety standards. | --- ### 🧩 Core Electronic Components The assembly consists of three primary electronic/mechanical sub-parts: 1. **The Operator (Button):** * Made of high-impact polycarbonate. * Features a "Trigger Action" mechanism which ensures that the contacts open even if the button is only partially pressed, preventing "teasing" of the switch. 2. **Contact Block (C23):** * **2NC Arrangement:** These are "Direct Opening Action" contacts. If the internal spring fails, the physical force of the button press will mechanically force the contacts apart to ensure the machine stops. * **Silver Contacts:** Often gold-clad to ensure high conductivity even at low voltages (5V/10mA). 3. **Terminal Structure:** * **Screw Terminals:** Equipped with IP20 finger-safe terminal covers. * Supports solid or stranded wiring with crimp terminals. --- ### ⚠️ Safety Features * **Fail-Safe Design:** If the contact block becomes detached from the operator, the circuit automatically opens (stops the machine). * **Environmental Protection:** Rated **IP65**, meaning it is dust-tight and protected against water jets, making it suitable for harsh factory environments. ---
