Waterproof rocker switches are sealed, meaning they prevent the ingress of water and dust from entering the switch itself. They are vital in applications where the switch is situated outside or in an area that could be exposed to moisture or water. Often incorporating rubber gaskets that seal against the mounting surface making them watertight.
