Wet-Location Toggle Switches
A rubber seal protects these switches from splashing water.
NEMA 4, 13, and IP68 rated switches are protected against oil/coolant spraying, washdowns, and temporary submersion. IP67 rated switches are protected against temporary submersion.
Switches with maintained/momentary switch action stay switched from one side and spring back from the other side.
Switches with an on-on or on-(on) position designation alternate power between sets of terminals.
