A molded case switch is a type of switch that is made of plastic material on the outside of the switch, also known as a plastic switch or plastic key switch. In the case of molded case switches, Is refers to the protection level of the switch, usually expressed in the form of IPXX. IP" is the English term for Ingress Protection, while "XX" represents the protection level for various environmental conditions. For example, in general household electricity, usually used in the plastic shell switch protection level is IP20, while in the humid environment, you need to use a higher level of protection of the switch.
Molded case switches have many advantages, such as ease of use, cost-effective and durable, and can be used in household appliances, office equipment, communication equipment, aerospace and other fields. In addition, the shell of the plastic case switch is made of plastic, so it has good insulating properties, which can avoid current leakage or electric shock and other situations. The plastic material also has the advantages of waterproof, moistureproof and corrosion-resistant, which can be adapted to a variety of different environmental conditions.
Plastic case switches have a very wide range of applications and can be used in a variety of different fields and occasions. For example, in factory equipment and household appliances, molded case switches can be used for starting, stopping, selecting and other functions; in the field of transportation, medical equipment, electronic instruments, etc., it can be used to control and adjust the current, voltage and other parameters; and in the field of aviation, military, satellites and other high-end technology, molded case switches have a higher level of safety and reliability, and can play a greater role. In short, the application range of molded case switches is very wide, and can meet different needs and requirements.
