The AH165-TLG22E 16mm series of compact size pushbuttons are 'finger-size',and consequently take up little panel space. In spite of their small size they have a highly reliable mechanism, and are eminently suited for solid state and other electronic circuits. The operator and contact blocks are molded from an excellent thermal resistance resin and can withstand the heat at the time of soldering. Since these pushbuttons are manufactured to industrial standards they can withstand vibration or shock thus eliminating lamp failure due to such causes as loose bases.
