Snap-Action Military Switches Withstand Shock, Vibration
WEYMOUTH, MA - Electroswitch now offers a line of rugged and reliable Snap-Action Switches for military applications. Produced in a modular design, these switches permit a variety of specialized configurations, and they are available in a large selection of electrical ratings. All models comply with pertinent military specifications for high-shock, high-vibration environments.
Excellent for either AC or DC switching, Electroswitch Snap-Action Switches have quick make and break action (approx. 10 milliseconds contact transfer time) that is not affected by the operator. Standard models are available with up to 12 poles and up to 4 positions. The ends of the stationary contacts extend outside the insulating disks to serve as connecting terminals, minimizing resistance and heating.
Electroswitch military switches have fully enclosed decks, and sturdy glass alkyd moldings provide insulated compartments that separate contacts. Standard double-wiping contacts reduce resistance, and Snap-Action Switches are available in many contact configurations. Stationary contacts can be non-shorting (break-before-make), shorting (make-before-break), or "sweep" style (connected to the rotor through consecutive positions). Rotor blades can be simple (for single-throw switching in one circuit and double-throw in another), right-angle (for double-throw switching and an intermediate OFF position), or multifingered (for double-throw, triple-throw, or four-throw switching).
Spring-return models, motor-driven models, ganged switches, solenoid locks, tandem configurations, waterproof mounts, engraved nameplates, and a wide variety of handles are also available.
Electroswitch is the industry leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of tough, reliable switches, relays, and other electrical systems products for utility, industrial, and military environments. The Electroswitch line of standard products is complemented by the company's proven ability and willingness to modify, custom design, and test their switches and relays for virtually any application. The company takes pride in meeting customer delivery requirements, no matter how stringent.
