KR Series Panel Mounted Rocker

Power rocker switches with a state-of-the-art look based on curved shapes. On illuminated versions, laser etching allows direct marking on the rocker, without using lenses.

MAIN FEATURES :

  • An infinite number of symbols available for all rocker colours within a short time frame.
  • A behind-panel depth lower than equivalent models in the market.
  • Optional IP68 front panel sealing.
  • 10-terminal versions allowing independent LED circuit or additional integrated functions.

To simplify and optimise assembly when several switches are involved, APEM also offers panel mounting units and connectors.
