What protection rating (IP code) does the metal switch have

The 19mm round Metal Push Button Switch is engineered with high - level protection ratings, making it suitable for operation in challenging dusty or wet environments.

Typically, many models of this metal switch come with an IP (Ingress Protection) rating of either IP65 or IP67. An IP65 - rated switch offers excellent protection against dust ingress, as the '6' in the rating indicates complete prevention of dust from entering the switch. This makes it highly suitable for use in industrial settings where dust is prevalent, such as manufacturing plants, mines, or construction sites. In terms of water resistance, an IP65 - rated switch can withstand water jets from any direction. Water jets, which are often used for cleaning equipment in industrial environments, will not cause any damage to the switch, ensuring its continuous operation and reliability.

For even more demanding wet environments, the IP67 - rated 19mm Metal Push Button is an ideal choice. Similar to the IP65 - rated version, it provides complete dust protection. The '7' in the IP67 rating means that the switch can be temporarily submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes without any adverse effects on its performance. This makes it suitable for applications in marine environments, where exposure to water is inevitable, such as on boats, ships, or in coastal installations. It can also be used in areas with high humidity or where there is a risk of water splashing from various sources, like in car washes or food processing plants where frequent water - based cleaning procedures are carried out.

In summary, whether it's a dusty industrial space or a wet marine or high - humidity area, the 19mm Metal Switch, with its available IP65 or IP67 protection ratings, can be relied upon to function effectively and maintain its integrity over time.
