Extremely durable stainless steel switches for use in harsh environments offers the ultimate in protection against water, dirt, chemicals, heat, shock, and impact in factory environments.
A range of extremely durable stainless steel switches for use in harsh environments is now available from EAO, the Experts in Human Machine Interfaces. These stainless steel switches offer the ultimate in protection against water, dirt, chemicals, heat, shock, and impact, which makes them the best products for operating equipment in polluted factories, where spills and damage are more common; where equipment must be chemically washed; in unattended locations where vandalism may occur. EAO offers stainless steel pushbuttons switches and indicators in the popular 22.5mm and 30.5mm size.

If space is an issue, EAO also offers a stainless steel switch with a low behind-panel depth.

EAO can supply stainless steel switches with LED illumination for use in poor lighting conditions.

They can also be laser engraved with specific symbols and legends that will not wear off or corrode.

Other options include self-cleaning, snap-action switching elements with gold-plated silver contacts, or for particularly aggressive environments, certain switches may be specified with silver/palladium contacts.

Stainless steel switches require less maintenance, so they offer more long-term, lifecycle-to-cost benefits.
