Description

Electronic Component Model: 1NTC011918 is a toggle switch designed to meet the needs of severe environment applications. It is a rugged and cost-effective switch that offers quality construction features.

One of the key features of this toggle switch is the complete sealing of the switching chamber, which enables it to comply with UL 508, paragraph 13.3 hosedown test. This makes it suitable for use in panels that are subjected to periodic splash and washdowns, such as those found in food and beverage equipment. It is also capable of withstanding exposure to heavy accumulations of early morning dew that may condense on the control panel in cabs of vehicles left outdoors overnight.
