Question
Are there Basic Switches available that can be used in locations subject to water?
Answer
Use a Drip-proof or Sealed Basic Switch.
Applicable models: Z-[]55 Drip-proof Basic Switch
Sealed Basic Switches: D2HW, D2VW, D2SW, D2JW
| Major class | Mid- class | Minor class | Model classification | Environmental resistance | Sealing details |
| Basic model (without seal) | --- | --- | Z, A, D2D, DZ, D2MV, D3C, D2X, D2T, J, D2F, D2MQ, D2MC, X, V, VX, K, SS, D2S, TZ | Resists penetration of dirt and dust into the Switch. No protection against gases, or water, oil and other liquids. Use a Sealed Switch or a Limit Switch if the Switch may be subject to water or other liquids. |  Basic Switches prevent penetration of dirt and dust generally by minimizing gaps and using interlocking construction for the actuator section (case and push button), gap between case and cover, and terminal section. |
| Enclosed (with sealing) | Enclosed (involving wiring) | Sealed l (partial seal, simple seal) | Z-15G55 Z-10FY55 | Complete dust proofing by eliminating gaps in the actuator section, between the case and cover, and in Switches. Resistant to gas. The terminal section is exposed, however, so caution is required for water and oil. |  |
| D2JW Model with Terminals D2SW Model with Terminals D2VW Model with Terminals | Excellent resistance to dust and gas by eliminating gaps in the actuator section, between the case and cover, and in Switches. The terminal section is exposed, however, so use a Sealed Switch or a Limit Switch if the Switch may be subject to water or other liquids. |  | |||
| Sealed (no sealing work required) | --- | D2JW Models with lead wires D2SW Models with lead wires D2VW Models with lead wires | The actuator, gap between case and cover, and terminal section are all sealed. High resistance against dirt, dust, gas, water, and other elements. |  |
