Waterproof Switch Customizations
For many OEM’s an off the shelf version of one of our waterproof limit switches like our E1092 Hi-Endurance Waterproof Switch is good enough. It has a stainless steel housing, is neoprene sealed for real waterproof operation, and has standard travel and electrical parameters good for many many applications.
But occasionally someone comes along and wishes our switch could actuate differently, or be made to integrate easier into OEM equipment, or have a particularly high or low temperature rating, or longer leads etc..
These kinds of customizations are common and welcome. We’ve done so many of them over the years the odds are we have a solution for you designed already that can be quickly prototyped and tested in your application.
Customizations for CPI Waterproof Switches
Our switches can be customized based on several key parameters to fit specific applications. Some of the customizable parameters include:
Actuation Force & Travel – The force required to activate the switch and the distance the actuator travels can be adjusted.
Electrical Ratings – Voltage and current specifications can be customized to match different power requirements.
Switching Mechanism – Options such as momentary or maintained contact operation can be selected.
Housing Material – Different materials can be used to enhance durability, including corrosion-resistant or impact-resistant enclosures.
Sealing Level – Custom sealing options for different IP ratings (e.g., IP67, IP68) to ensure waterproofing for various environments.
Mounting Style – Different mounting configurations, including panel mount, bracket mount, or custom designs.
Actuator Type – Variability in actuator styles, such as plungers, levers, or roller mechanisms.
Wire Leads & Connectors – Custom lengths, insulation types, and terminal types (such as spade, ring, or molded connectors).
Operating Temperature Range – Adjustments for extreme temperatures both hot and cold can be made, making the switch suitable for even more harsh environments.
Color & Labeling – Custom colors or markings for identification or branding purposes.
If you have a specific application, CPI engineers can tailor these parameters and more to meet your needs. We can even test them in house and provide required reports and certifications. Qualified applications can get free samples to try out so don’t be shy, give us a call today.
