Anti-vandal switch range is IP67 rated and offers multiple options

Cyntech Components now stocks the latest ULV8 series of anti-vandal switches from E-Switch. The switches offer UL certification and a larger 25mm panel cutout size. The 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 1 metre. High reliability is also ensured with a mechanical operating life of up to 1 million 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 1000Mohm at 500VDC. Operation is specified over a -20C to +55C temperature range and the switches can accommodate a panel thickness from 1mm - 10mm. Commenting, Dave Mellor, managing director, Cyntech Components, said: "The addition of this new series of panel switches, with its larger cutout and multiple colour ring illumination options, considerable enhances the choice we can offer to our customers.
