“Municipal and state fleets preparing for winter operations now have some great options for withstanding rust and corrosion,” says Graeme Marsden, marketing communications manager for Littelfuse CVP. “The durable switches definitely help them extend equipment service life during harsh winter conditions.”
According to Cole Hersee, the high-amperage capacity 75920 Master Disconnect Switch protects vehicles from tampering, theft and battery drain. Made of composite-engineered polymer housing, the switch has been tested in accordance with SAE J1455 for salt corrosion. It is designed to withstand full immersion and keep working, and has an integral lockout feature that is said to help with lockout/tagout compliance. The heavy-duty switch can be used at 300A continuous or up to 3000A intermittent duty
The 95060 Series Ignition Switches include multiple electrical configurations, the single key code model 95060-23, and the 95061 lever ignition switches. Cole Hersee says each of the switches is made with an engineered plastic body that prevents corrosion from attacking the switch. Also designed to resist adverse conditions and keep working, the company says the series comes with a sealed connector and an available pigtail harness. The UL approved switches are rated for 12V to 48V applications.
