Varimec - Double Variability

Varimec is a switch line that offers unrivalled flexibility of height adjustment by providing a double level of height variability in the same cap.

This cap is made with a unique manufacturing technique. The tooling uses a design concept that allows both the cap height above the panel and the height of the section under the recess to be adjusted. A recess is provided that fixes the cap under the front panel. This means the designer can order any height above the panel between 2.4 and 6.4mm and at the same time set the height from the PCB to the front panel from 0 to 8.1 mm. This flexibility ensures an aesthetically pleasing and highly practical front panel design while catering for a wide range of PCB mounted components. Caps in the Varimec range are available in various sizes 5.2-7.8-11.6 mm and in 5 different colours: blue-grey-yellow-red-black. The cap material is polyamide and compatible with surface mounting process temperatures. They are easy to mount and are secured for safe positioning by three location pins.
