Construction Machinery

Construction vehicles require switches that withstand exposure to high vibration, shock, dust, and moisture and may require extended electromechanical endurance. 

Our waterproof, snap-action industrial-grade B Series switches and E1 Series limit brackets are the most common choice for this industry. They offer resistance to high vibration and shock and are rated waterproof and to IP68.

General Product Features:

• Integral SAE J1128 wire leads (18AWG GXL insulation; individual leads only)
• IP68 rated waterproof / dustproof
• -65F to 221F operating temperature (depending on momentary switch cover matl)
• Over 1 million electromechanical cycles possible (depending on electrical load and mechanical requirements)

 

Customizations Available:

• Wire and cable lengths
• Wire treatments: wire abrasion protection, marking, labeling, etc
• Wire colors 
• Weatherpak / Metripak, Deutsch connectors and other terminations
• Spring & bracket modifications or design changes
