KR Series Rocker Switch

APEM KR Series 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.

Featuring 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 available. Comes with 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.
