V-Series
Contura II & III
Switches
The V-Series Contura II & III snap-in rocker switches
offer countless unique options including choices for
ratings, circuits, colors, illuminations and symbols.
These single or double pole switches feature
removable actuators in a choice of actuator styles
and colors, and can be illuminated with either
square or bar shaped lenses. Actuators may be
purchased and stocked separately. An optional
plug-in terminal connector enables pre-wiring of
wire harnesses.
The Contura switches with sealed option, are
certified to IP66 and IP68, signifying complete
protection against dust and prolonged spray and
submersion under pressure, and are recognized to
UL1500 - Ignition Protection for Marine Products.
These switches are vibration, shock, thermoshock,
moisture and salt spray resistant. Temperature
ratings range from -40°C to +85°C.

Sealed version: IP68, in accordance
with IEC 60529, BS 5490, DIN 40050
& NFC 20 010. This rating applies to
front panel components of the actual
switch only, and signifies protection
against dust and the prolonged
effects of immersion under pressure.
The standard test for immersion
under pressure requires submersion
under one meter of water for 30 min.
The V-Series switch has exceeded
these parameters, having
been actuated and illuminated during
submersion.
