Key-insert switch with strength of steel

Switches, Relays & Keypads
EAO offers the Series 04 stainless steel key-insert switch for really harsh use in transportation and related industries. The all-stainless steel construction makes this a highly durable switch which is capable of performing up to 0,25 million switch cycles without failure. It is protected to a very high degree, IP67, and it will operate in a temperature range of -40 to +85°C so it is eminently suitable for exterior applications in diverse climates.
Importantly, the design separates the function according to direction using dual-directional turning: twist one way for function A, twist the other way for function B. This reduces the incidence of accidental operation.
Apart from the all-stainless steel construction, this version has common features of other EAO Series 04 key switches: choice of screw/plug-in terminals; silver/palladium contacts or gold-plated contacts for switching lower levels.
