Idec Key Switch SPST 2-Way Spring Return IP65 Screw Terminal

Idec YW1K-21BE10 Key Switch SPST 2-Way is engineered for robust operation in industrial control environments. With a spring return mechanism, this switch provides highly reliable switching functionality, ideal for applications where safety or control depend on repeatable actuation cycles.

The contact configuration is Single Pole Single Throw (SPST), facilitating straightforward circuit connection and disconnection in automation systems and control panels. The switch offers two-way actuation, allowing users to switch between two defined positions, with a key index angle of 90 degrees for clear, precise operation.

Designed for durability, the YW1K-21BE10 features IP65 ingress protection, ensuring resistance against dust and water jets. This rating makes the switch suitable for use in harsh industrial environments, including areas prone to moisture or particulate ingress. Finger-safe screw terminals enhance installation safety and reliability for panel builders and maintenance professionals.

The product is compact and lightweight, making it a practical choice for mounting in control panels, machinery, and equipment with constrained space. Its operating temperature range of -20°C to 55°C covers typical industrial environments, safeguarding performance in wider conditions.

Common applications include industrial automation systems, machine controls, production line equipment, and situations where secure switching and reliable position indication are critical. The YW series from Idec includes models tailored for differentiating electrical operations and safety controls.

Key benefits include the spring return actuation, secure screw terminal connections, compact form factor, and robust IP65 protection - ensuring the switch is suitable for demanding commercial, manufacturing, and laboratory uses.
