As the core product developed by Yueqing Tongda Cable Factory for special environments such as humidity, dust, and outdoor conditions, the FSK-18 series waterproof switches boast 'IP67 high protection and stable electrical performance' as their key advantages. Leveraging 35 years of switch manufacturing expertise, they feature various triggering modes, including rocker and button types, and are widely used in outdoor lighting, kitchen appliances, automotive electronics, industrial cleaning equipment, and other scenarios, making them a reliable choice for circuit control in harsh environments.
Waterproof Micro Switch Introduction
The core competitiveness of the FSK-18 lies in its "perfect balance of miniaturization and waterproofing," using a patented sealing structure design: high-elasticity nitrile rubber sealing rings are embedded at the shell joints, combined with an overall potting process to fill internal gaps, completely blocking the intrusion paths of water vapor and dust. The protection level reaches IP67, capable of withstanding 30 minutes of immersion at a depth of 1 meter, ensuring stable operation in environments such as bathrooms, outdoor rain, and humid industrial workshops.
The shell is made of flame-retardant PA66 reinforced nylon, treated with high-temperature modification, providing both flame resistance (UL94 V-0) and anti-aging performance. The operating temperature range covers -25℃ to 85℃, capable of withstanding high and low temperature cycling impacts, preventing material cracking or performance degradation in extreme environments. The contact system uses highly wear-resistant silver alloy material, optimized with a vacuum plating process. The initial contact resistance is ≤50mΩ, insulation resistance is ≥100MΩ (500VDC), and the terminal withstand voltage reaches 1500V AC, effectively preventing leakage and contact oxidation in humid environments.
Waterproof Micro Switch Feature and Application
1.Home & Commercial Scenarios:
Safeguarding Daily SafetyKitchen appliances: Suitable for dishwashers, built-in steam ovens, and under-sink water purifiers. The IP67 protection resists washing water splashes and oil contamination. After being equipped by a leading home appliance enterprise, the repair rate of water-induced product failures dropped from 12% to 0.3%;
Outdoor lighting: Used for power control of garden lights, lawn lights, and charging piles. Under -30℃ severe cold and 60℃ high-temperature exposure, the on-off response rate is 100%, and the service life is 3 times longer than that of ordinary switches.
2. Industrial & Automotive Scenarios:
Meeting Strict RequirementsIndustrial cleaning: Suitable for high-pressure cleaners and spray disinfection equipment. The chemical-resistant housing can resist the erosion of alkaline cleaning solutions. A food processing plant used it for 18 months with no corrosion or functional attenuation of the switch;
Automotive electronics: The customized model is used for car refrigerators and outdoor vehicle-mounted lighting. It has passed the vibration test of 10-55Hz (amplitude 1.5mm), and after 100,000 kilometers of driving,the actuation accuracy has no deviation, meeting the ISO 16750 standard for automotive electronics.
