Bulgin Blue Illuminated Vandal-Resistant Switch, 16mm, IP68

The Bulgin Blue Illuminated Vandal-Resistant Switch (MPI002 series) is a robust, single-pole single-throw (SPST) panel-mount switch designed for demanding industrial environments. Featuring a blue illuminated ring, its stainless steel body and button provide exceptional durability and resistance to tampering, impact, and harsh conditions.

This switch offers a momentary (push-to-make) action with a tactile feel and a defined operating force of 12N. Its screw terminations ensure a secure and reliable electrical connection, while the gold-plated copper alloy contacts guarantee low resistance and excellent conductivity for sensitive low-current applications.

A key feature is its IP68 sealing rating, making it completely dust-tight and protected against prolonged immersion in water. This allows for reliable operation in wash-down areas, outdoor enclosures, or any location exposed to moisture and contaminants. It is also designed to function across a wide operating temperature range from -30°C to +75°C.

Applications

Ideal for applications where space is limited and reliability is critical, this vandal-resistant switch is perfect for control panels, industrial machinery, public access equipment, marine electronics, and medical devices. Its robust construction makes it suitable for environments where equipment is subject to frequent use, accidental impact, or deliberate abuse.
