MICRO SWITCH™
V15W
Series Watertight
Miniature
Switches
Basic Switches
DESCRIPTION
The MICRO SWITCH™ V15W is a miniature-sized basic
switch designed for harsh-duty, wash down areas. Rugged yet
precise, the Series gives highly accurate machine control for
turning circuits on and off. The V15W can be used in a wide
range of challenging environments, including food packaging
plants, forklifts, ATVs, golf carts, lawn mowers, garbage trucks,
salt trucks, commercial buses, and wheelchair lifts for
conversion vans. Choose the V15W when the application
needs accurate repeatability in a compact, lightweight and
long-lasting basic switch.
This switch signifies an expansion of the proven and reliable,
MICRO SWITCH™ V15 Standard snap-action switch series.
By utilizing an epoxy resin, the V15W Series switches deliver
high sealing capability with an IP67 rating (pre-leaded only).
They may also be used in dusty places or in washdown
applications.
