The B3SE is rated at 1 million operations.

The silver plated switch is sealed conforming to IP67 (IEC 60529) standards providing high contact reliability in dusty environments and sealing against ingress of flux or fluids during manufacturing.

The B3SE can withstand temperatures between -25C to +70C degrees with no icing or condensation.

Andries de Bruin, European product marketing manager, Omron, writes:

“The B3SE will allow designers to really challenge themselves to develop ultra-thin products with absolute confidence in the long term durability of the switch.  The crisp click during operation will reassure end users that this is a high quality product.”

Applications should include instrumentation, factory automation, consumer electronics and white goods.
