Our PCB mount Toggle switches are sealed to IP65 and IP67, and are classed as washable. Appropriate for products suited in the marine industry, as well as varied outdoor equipment. We also offer waterproof standard, miniature and sub-miniature Toggle switches.
What are IP ratings?
IP ratings are standards set out by IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) under the 60529 standards document which specifies a classification system on the effectiveness in the sealing of enclosures of electrical equipment. This looks at the protection of factors such as dust and water/moisture.
The IP rating will depend on how hard wearing or weatherproof the component needs to be. For example, a metal push button switch in a swimming pool will need to be waterproof and hence this product will need a higher IP rated switch.
See the chart below outlining the IP rating and its characteristics.
| IP65 | Dust tight, protected against water projected from a nozzle. |
| IP66 | Dust tight and protected against powerful water jets. |
| IP67 | Dust tight and protected from water immersion for 30 minutes between depths of 150mm – 1000mm. |
| IP68 | Dust tight and protected against continuous water immersion. |
