If you want a switch that you can mount to a PCB (printed circuit board), choose this toggle switch from RS PRO. It's suitable for installation outdoors or in demanding industrial environments, as its IP67 rating means it's protected against dust and temporary submersion in water.


The switch is salt-spray corrosion-tested to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standard B117 and has front 'O' ring seals to prevent flowing water from getting inside. This makes it a good choice for use in marine applications. It also has a flame-retardant and heat-stabilised double shell that has a UL 94V-0 fire safety rating from Underwriters' Laboratories, so you can safely use it in cockpits and other critical systems.


This type of toggle switch is commonly used on ships, oil rigs and heavy industrial machinery. As it meets US military environment standard MIL-STD-202F for small electrical components, you can also use it on defence control panels.
