Manufactured from Stainless Steel, Bulgin’s extensive range of vandal resistant security switches are designed with a high resistance to wear and tear, corrosion and harsh use in potentially hostile environments such as access control applications.
The front and rear panel mounted versions have three profiles –prominent, domed and low profile – with a choice of switching and IP66 & IP68 front panel sealing which combined together to meet the ergonomic, electrical and environmental demands of switch panel design. New additions of Black Anodised Ally as well as Stainless Steel are now available – and where the ultimate strength of steel is not needed, there is a brass, chrome plated alternative. Low profile style switches are also now available with a latching, push on – push off, action.
The illuminated versions are available in dot and ring LED indication and a variety of illumination colours including bi-colour LED’s. Newer versions also feature LED illumination driven by 6V, 12V & 24V together with rear of panel sealing, these options will add that extra dimension to control panel layouts and functionality.
