An anti-vandal switch is a type of switch that is designed to resist tampering, damage, and vandalism. It is commonly used in applications where the switch needs to be protected from intentional or accidental damage, such as in public places, transportation, and industrial settings.
Anti-vandal switches are typically made from durable materials such as stainless steel or aluminum and feature a robust construction to prevent damage from impact, moisture, or dust. They are also designed to be waterproof and dustproof to ensure reliable operation in harsh environments.
These switches often feature a raised button or switch actuator that is designed to be easily pressed or activated by fingers or tools. The actuator is typically surrounded by a metal bezel or ring that provides additional protection against tampering or damage.
Anti-vandal switches can be found in a variety of settings, including transportation vehicles such as trains and buses, public areas such as parks and public restrooms, and industrial equipment such as machinery and control panels. They are also used in consumer electronics, such as gaming consoles and home security systems, to provide a durable and reliable switch solution.
