Toggle switch adds nonslip grip option

By Gina Roos, editor-in-chief

C&K has expanded its miniature 7000 Series of locking toggle switches with an optional knurled cap. The locking lever and the textured pattern, providing a nonslip surface, enables customers to move from one position to another without the toggle lever slipping from their grip, said the company.

The 7000 Series offers long life operation up to 100,000 cycles, and is available in a variety of actuator and termination options. The toggle switches are available with and without the IP67 sealing to meet application requirements. They can be used in a range of applications, including automotive, medical, instrumentation, and telecommunication applications.

Designed for both multi-pole and multi-position, the 7000 series is epoxy terminal-seal−compatible with bottom-wash cleaning. The operating temperature range is −30°C to 85°C.
