Lock switch handles wet applications

Lorlin's WRL lock switch range meets a growing need for secure switching in applications, which may be outdoors or where washing is required.

Lorlin Electronics, has added a new model to the WRL series of waterproof, miniature, key-operated lock switches.

The WRL waterproof lock switch is a compact, rugged design, simple to mount, occupies a small panel area and projects less than 30mm from the rear of the mounting panel.

Sealed to IP66 and IP67 these single or double-pole switches may be operated by a single common key or one of up to 200 different combinations.

All WRL switches are RoHS-compliant and an optional M16 earthing tag may be specified where panels might be insulated.

Dan Walker, Sales Manager of Lorlin Electronics said, "We have added this new model to our very successful WRL waterproof switch family in response to customer requests".

"Even industrial design is now more style-conscious and panel ergonomics and aesthetics have much higher priorities".

"We have customers in marine equipment, garden machinery, security and industrial control who are all now making products which need to be much more visually appealing".

The lock is mounted to the panel from the front and the electrical switch snaps on to the back of the mechanism.

60 and 90 degree key indexing versions are available and the key may be inserted into the lock either way up and withdrawn in both the locked and unlocked switch positions.

The WRL miniature lock switch is rated for currents up to 5A at 115V AC over an operating life of over 10,000 cycles and has an operating temperature range of - 20 to +65C.

Lorlin's WRL lock switch range meets a growing need for secure switching in applications, which may be outdoors or where washing is required.

Typical applications for the Lorlin WRL miniature lock switch include, security shutters, alarm and security control panels in airports, prisons, police stations etc, factory equipment, instrumentation and electrical control panels, security, alarm, vehicle, marine and industrial control.

The new WRL key switch is available direct from Lorlin or from franchised distributors worldwide.
