Harsh Environment Switches

The packet switch is a rotating switch with a modular construction which can be used to build every desired configuration. The packet switch is a very robust switch which is resistant to shocks and vibrations. Furthermore, the packet switch has self-cleaning contacts which make the switch suitable for switching small control currents and for use in dusty environments, such as those in the steel industry, chemical industry and cement industry. The construction of the packet switch means that it is suitable for switching both direct current and alternating current. The packet switch is built by Santon for tens of thousands of applications. The different types of switch include heat resistant switches for tunnels and car parks, watertight switches for the offshore industry, the shipbuilding industry and other outdoor uses, and switches for use in the food industry. The Santon packet switch goes from 0 V to 1000 V and from 0 A to 1,000 A. Three standard applications are given below, as well as an explanation of what Santon can mean for you in the field of customization.
