A key switch, also called a selector switch, is an essential selector switch component designed when there is more than one control option required. These robust key selector switches feature mounting collars and are primarily used with auxiliary contact blocks. They are made from high-quality materials like modern black and silver-coloured bezels, which are fully sealed with an IP65 rating. In addition, they are available with latching switch actuation with a more significant number of keys.
Selector Switch Heads
Switch heads are available in several forms, generally made from a rigid material like plastic or metal. They are also designed from chrome-plated metal and are robust, flexible, easy to use, and durable. Each switch-head is comprised of a snap-fit head and a body intelligent locking system. The head is easy to tighten, uses a single screw, and is secure and easy to mount. They are available in various operating and position types.
