Eaton Expands Vehicle Control Solutions To Meet Broad Application Requirements

Eaton Corporation announced the expansion of its vehicle controls product offering with a new above-panel Sealed Vehicle Rocker (SVR) and XT Series Toggles. Eaton’s SVR offers unique features such as an IP68 seal at the integrated connector interface, which allows the switch to function underwater. In addition, the XT Series Toggles provide a standard high rating for both single and double pole applications.

The SVR is designed to meet the rigorous requirements of the marine, heavy-duty truck, specialty, utility, agriculture and construction vehicle markets; whereas the XT Series Toggles are designed to meet the varied needs of a broad range of applications, including commercial and industrial equipment, industrial machinery and automation, medical equipment, military communications and surveillance, and rail systems.

The XT Series Toggle line offers a wide range of switching circuits, functions and accessories. Ratings for single- and double-pole include 20 amperes at 125 volts AC and 10 amperes at 277 volts AC to handle more severe inductive, motor and lamp loads. Additionally, XT Series Toggles have a high standard horsepower rating of 1½ horsepower from 125 – 250 volts AC for double pole applications. Easy to install, the toggles have an industry standard .480-inch diameter mounting hole.

The above-panel SVR switch has a uniquely styled umbrella rocker button and bezel-less frame, made to deflect moisture and debris from entering under the rocker button. It has been tested to IP68 seal level, allowing submersion of the switch under water, and includes the ability to seal the switch terminal to the harness interface.
