Anti-vandal switch offers ring illumination and larger panel cutout

These switches offer UL certification and a larger 25mm panel cutout size.

These switches are further distinguished with an IP67 environmental rating, which totally protects the switch from the ingress of dust and also the effects of immersion in water to a depth of 1metre. High reliability is also ensured with a mechanical operating life of up to 1million momentary contact cycles or 500 thousand latching cycles.

SPDT or DPDT contact arrangements are supported with actuation forces of 2.5N or 3.5N respectively and a switch travel of 3.2mm. All switches are rated at 3A and 250VAC with a contact resistance of 50mO and an insulation resistance of 1000MO at 500VDC. Operation is specified over a -20 to +55°C temperature range and the switches can accommodate a panel thickness from 1-10mm.

Dave Mellor, Managing Director of Cyntech Components, said, "The addition of this new series of panel switches, with its larger cutout and multiple colour ring illumination options, enhances the choice we can offer to our customers. This design is ideal for anyone who requires a robust and reliable switching solution for use in harsh environments."
