L-Series Sealed Rocker Switches
L-Series Sealed Rocker Switches
Making the right connections has never been easier — with the L-Series Rocker Switch
from Carling Technologies. Not only does this innovative switch offer total design flexibility,
it has set new standards for both performance and reliability. It’s IP67 certified, and able to
withstand temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Features include countless switch and lamp
circuit combinations, LED illuminated lenses or laser etched rockers, as well as hundreds
of legend choices and several accessories.
Maximizes your
design flexibility
Twelve terminals offer you
an extensive range of
switch and lamp circuit
options, including LED or
incandescent illumination.
Withstands
extreme
temperatures
Roller pin mechanism elimi-
nates need for lubricants,
so it can withstand from -
40°C to +85°C.
Ensures greater
shock protection
Welded lamp connection
and one-piece internal,
jumperless terminal with-
stand extreme shock and
vibration.
Integrates easily
into your system
You can choose from a
variety of termination
options, including .250 TAB
QC & .187 TAB QC.
Eliminates need
for retooling
Neatly proportioned, our L-
Series fits into industry
standard mounting holes of
1.734” x .867” and 44.0mm
x 22.0mm.
