The 301CQE is a miniature pushbutton switch from the 300 series featuring normally open contact configuration with printed circuit board (PC) terminals. It incorporates coin silver contacts rated at 1A 125VAC or 28VDC, with an initial contact resistance of 10 milliohms maximum at 3VDC and 0.1 Amp, and an insulation resistance of 10,000 MO minimum. The switch has a total travel of 2.7 mm (0.110 inches) with 0.51 mm (0.020 inches) of overtravel, and an actuation force of 8.5 ounces ± 4 ounces. It operates reliably over a temperature range of -30°C to +85°C and achieves 250,000 electrical life cycles at its rated 1A 125VAC specification. The 301CQE is ideal for control panels, instrumentation, and consumer electronics requiring compact, reliable switching with direct PCB integration.
