PV Series: The Industry Standard for Anti-Vandals

Designed to withstand harsh use, extreme temperatures and rugged environments, E-Switch offers the PV Series: an extensive range of vandal-resistant pushbutton switches with a variety of size, function, actuator style, termination, body finish and illumination options.

Most PV Series switches are sealed to an IP65 or IP67 rating for protection against dust and moisture, offer RGB and bi-color illumination, one or two-pole functions and the ability to order the switches with wire leads (300mm long) or with a detachable socket (wire leads optional) to quickly and easily connect power behind the panel. Both options eliminate the need to second source your wire purchasing and assembly, reducing in-house labor while saving you time and money.

While the anti-vandal features make it a highly robust offering, the PV Series aesthetically pleasing design elements (including stainless steel, anodized and nickel or gold-plated finishes) and overall dependability has contributed to their placement across markets and applications. Common industries include transportation, security, appliance, audio/visual, industrial, construction and home maintenance.
