Piezo switches have no moving mechanical parts, making them extremely resilient and capable of enduring millions of actuations, offering long-life operation in the harshest of environments.

Available in either aluminium or stainless steel, the switches have a robust one piece construction, ensuring resistance to physical impact. Extreme temperatures – from -40 to +85 °C – can be accommodated, while environmental sealing guarantees weather and waterproof operation.

There is a choice of 16, 19 and 22mm hole diameter – ratings up to 24V/1A – with momentary and latching functionality, as well as multiple illumination options.
