Features
Pin plunger and lever types available.
Drip-proof and flexible rod types are also available.
The pin plunger is sealed from the other switch mechanisms by a resilient rubber,
and the case and cover are sealed by adhesive so that the switch is resistant to
humidity, oil and dust. The degree of protection conforms to IEC IP63.
