Rugged round waterproof push button and rocker switches

The KC series switches are IP65 rated and designed to a fit panel cut-out of 20.20mm diameter. Illuminated and non-lighted versions are available with a black actuator and housing for the non-lighted version and red actuator with black housing and red lens for the illuminated version. This series of single-pole, single-throw (SPST) function switches offers multiple termination options. Electrical ratings include 16A @ 125V AC, 10A @ 250V AC, 20A @ 14V DC, 10A @ 28V DC and an EN61058 rated version in 10(4)A @ 250V.

KD series switches are available in two versions: DPST (double pole, single throw) and DPDT (double pole, double throw). Featuring snap-in mounting to fit the same aperture sizes as the KC series, they can be supplied as illuminated or non-lighted versions and are rated for DC and AC loads to 16A @ 125V AC, 10A @ 250V AC, 20A @ 14V DC and 10A @28V DC, all models have quick connect 0.187in (4.76mm) terminals.

For applications requiring a round pushbutton switch rather than a rocker, the KF series is offered in five different versions, both SPST and DPST and both types of switch can be supplied lit and unlit as required. Maintained-action and momentary switching is a further option. The KF series has quick-connect 4.76mm terminals and is IP-65 compliant. Electrical ratings are: 20A @ 14V DC and 10A @ 28V DC, and in UL 1054 ratings of 10A @ 125V AC and 6A @ 250V AC, 1/2HP and 125/250V AC are also available.

All three switch families have a rugged design for industrial and outdoor applications offer a mechanical life of 100,000 cycles and a long electrical life of between 6000 and 25,000 cycles.
