V12 Series 12mm Rustproof Anti Vandal Switch

The V12 Series is part of Langir’s broad line of anti-vandal switches. What makes this series remarkable is its rustproof feature which makes it a great option for outdoor use especially when exposure to moisture is expected.

The V12 Series 12 mm Rustproof Anti Vandal Switch is highly certified, offering an electrical rating of 2A/48VDC. As mentioned earlier, this series has a diameter of 12 mm, panel cutout with thickness between 1 and 4 mm. Its multiple function options include momentary and 1NO.

This series can be made from different materials. For the actuator, you can choose from stainless steel, brass, or PBT, while you can choose stainless steel, brass (nickel-plated), or zin-al alloy for the switch body. Its base is also made from PBT.

These materials add quality to the V12 Series that has an IP degree of IP65 paired with impact protection of IK08. 

With an ingress protection rating of IP65, you can enjoy an anti-vandal switch that has total protection against unintended, harmful contact and foreign materials especially dust. It may not have the best coverage in terms of waterproof protection, but a liquid (water, for example) that is projected by a nozzle of at least 6.3 mm coming from any direction will not do any harm to the switch. In fact, because of its high-quality material and level of protection, this makes the V12 Series rustproof.

In addition to that, an IK08 rating makes the V12 Series safe from damage that may be caused by an impact energy of about 5 joules. If converted or simulated, this equates to about 1.7 kilograms of mass dropped from 300 meters (0.30 meters) above the impacted surface.

The V12 Series, however, does not come in any illumination style options, but its actuator can be customized in different colors including white, yellow, blue, green, red, and black. The actuator comes in a round shape and will require approximately 5N of operating pressure.

Just like the other anti-vandal switch series, the V12 Series offers you two terminal options including solder lug and screw. The solder lug terminal type allows you to work effectively with high current ratings measuring about 2.0 by 0.5 millimeters. The screw terminal, on the other hand, helps you to work efficiently with a narrow or congested range of wire gauges.

The V12 Series operates without a load of 1,000,000 cycles (mechanical life) and when carrying full rated current, its lifetime runs around 200,000 cycles (electrical life). 

This series should be placed in an environment where the operating temperature is at -20 °C to 55 °C. 

When it comes to the series’ contact and insulation resistance, a maximum of 50 mΩ may come helpful in the diagnosis and prevention of contact corrosion in the future. As to insulation resistance, it runs at a minimum of 1000 mΩ. This can help check damaged insulation later. Moreover, the V12 Series has a dielectric strength of 2,000VAC.

All these make the V12 Series 12 mm Rustproof Anti Vandal Switch a popular option where moisture and heavy use are expected, like public ticket dispensers, vending kiosks, and more.
