Sealed rocker switches come in many designs and configurations29 May 2009Carling Technologies “Contura” rocker-switch range, which is available from Techna International, is IP 66 / IP 68 sealed, UL 1500 recognised, VDE certified and are able to withstand temperatures from – 40 degrees C to + 85 degrees C, in several attractive, rugged, designs. Supplied in single or double-pole configurations, the switches feature a choice of ten removable, hard or soft-touch, convex or concave actuator styles and colours, non-illuminated or with illumination in the form of square, round, oval or bar shaped lenses. They are vibration, mechanical-shock, thermal-shock, moisture and salt-spray resistant and are available with front-of-panel sealing to IP 66 or IP 68.
Rocker actuators are available with hard or “soft-touch” surfaces, optional “locking” mechanism, rocker guards to avoid inadvertent rocker operation and one or two-part-construction back lit legends, or laser etching, can be supplied for increased lens symbol durability.
For panel applications, a mounting frame can be made-up of end and intermediate modules, to virtually any required size, with switches simply snapping-into the final assembly. A range of illuminated “plugs” is also available where signalling is required without switching.
Recent additions to the range are the Contura “V1 Wave” design which will appeal to panel users in the transportation and marine sectors, whilst the new “W Series” provides a fully sealed front and back of panel switch to IP 68 which when used with the integrated connector, provides a totally submersible seal for up to ten individual wires, assuring compatibility with the most complex circuitry, together with the availability of dual-level and multicolour LED illumination, progressive and hazard warning circuits and hundreds of standard legends.
