IDEC Pushbuttons

Miniature Switches & Pilot Devices L6 series: 5/8” (16mm) 
L6 Series — Miniature Switches and Pilot Devices 
Key features include: L6 Series miniature switches and pilot 
devices are manufactured with the same high quality and precision you’ve come to 
expect from IDEC. 
L6 pushbuttons respond to the lightest touch and feature 
a brightly lit illuminated face.
 The bayonet mount with locking lever makes it possible 
to install and remove the contact block easily.

Lamp Installation 
Lamps can be replaced in two ways: 
1. If contacts are accessible (or pushbutton not installed in a panel) then 
it is easiest to first remove the contacts from the operator. This will 
allow easy access to the lamp/lamp-holder assembly. Grab lamp, 
depress slightly, and turn counter clockwise. Lamp can then be 
removed by pushing it back through the lamp holder. 
2. If contacts are not accessible, then the lamp can be replaced by first 
removing the lens from the operator. Just pull lens straight out either 
with a fingernail or optional lens removal tool (MT-101). Lamp/lampholder 
assembly can then be removed with lamp removal tool (OR-44). 
Insert lamp removal tool through operator, depress slightly, turn counter 
clockwise, then pull lamp/lamp-holder assembly out. Lamp can then be 
removed by pushing it back through the lamp holder.
