This Product Selection Guide contains information to help select products in the Industrial Lighting - Pick to Light category on DigiKey.com
Pick to light, or pick by light, is an order fulfillment solution that indicates the product to be picked using lights. Items in this category can be narrowed down by supply voltage, illumination type and color, switch function, and more.
SelectionCharacteristics
Mounting Type: Indicates how the device is attached.
Actuator Type: Indicates the style and configuration of the actuator of the device.
Circuit: Describes device function in terms of a number of poles and throws, as is typical for mechanical switches. For more information please see: Switch Basics, Examples of Pole and Throw
Switch Function: Refers to the specific operation or behavior of a switch, indicating the primary purpose or mode of operation. For more information please see: Switch Basics, Examples of Pole and Throw
Illumination Type, Color: Indicates the illumination source being used in the device and the color of the overall illuminative effect.
Features: These are different capabilities or properties of the device such as led display.
Voltage - Supply: Typically represented by a range, this indicates the low and high voltage limits which one can expect standard operation. Voltages outside this range may damage the device and other system components.
Response Time: How long the device takes to respond to input stimulus.
Termination Style: Selection of termination style used to connect the device to a system, such as cable leads or screw terminals.
Panel Cutout Dimensions: Refers to the measurements or dimensions of the opening or cutout in the panel.
Operating Temperature: Recommended operating temperature, typically given in a range or as a maximum. Exceeding these temperatures may affect performance or damage the device and other system components.
Ingress Protection: IP (Ingress Protection) ratings such as (IP20, IP65, IP67, etc.) define how likely water and dirt will get into the system. The first number represents dirt and solid contaminants while the second represents water and liquids.
