OTTO Controls and NKK Switches – quality on the highest level
Toggle switches are used in application areas where mechanical components must withstand high demands and extreme conditions. That is why we trust the well-known brand manufacturers OTTO Controls and NKK Switches for these switches. They are both experienced in manufacturing various switches and buttons that guarantee a very robust design. Many of the toggle switches for aviation and other applications manufactured by OTTO Controls comply with the protection category IP 69K. That means that these are not only dust-tight, but also protected against a very intensive water jet. This protection is provided by a special sealing ring that no fluid can penetrate the internal mechanics even during high-pressure cleaning. The toggle switches by NKK Switches are extremely vibration-proof and pass even the strictest test condition of the guideline UL 94. The regulation is used to determine the flammability of plastics. In this test the toggle switches achieve the very high safety category V-0 that states that the flames were extinguished within 10 seconds and the product only smoulders for a maximum of 30 seconds after that. In addition, the toggle switches meet the requirements of aviation, aerospace, naval and many other applications and withstand several thousand switching operations.
