Cole Hersee Company introduces its newly engineered LED Rocker Switch for trucking applications. This low current input membrane switch is compatible with microprocessor-based electrical/electronic systems and is said to offer exceptionally high visibility and durability, no matter the time of day or weather condition.
The switch’s wide, wrap-around green and yellow colored lenses are working parts of the actuator, rather than being separate components inserted into the actuator. According to the company, this significantly increases the chance of seeing the illumination when viewed from an oblique angle, from a distance or in the bright sunlight while decreasing accidental risks of on-site areas.
The switch meets the IP66 standard, the highest level of dust and high-pressure water resistance. To meet this standard, the switch underwent a series of tests in which no ingress of dust or water occurred, making it suitable for essentially all adverse conditions.
Materials used in the switch include silver contacts and nickel-plated brass blades. The extremely high electrical conductivity and the arc-resistant nature of silver add years to the lifespan. The nickel-plated brass plates are corrosion-resistant and provide the best possible electrical contact. Long lasting LED bulbs are also used to prevent the need of bulb replacement.
