landroversforever Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Hello all, After a long time coming I am finally in posession of a winch! I'm planning on having an outside winch control mounted discretely on the front of the vehicle. So for that I'm looking for a water proof toggle switch, and have currently been unsuccessful! Does anyone out there use one and have a link? or a suitable method of sealing one? Thanks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Brock Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 you can get screw on waterproof boot for toggle switches The majority of switches are given an IP rating this from the front, not the rear contacts, if you want to have sealed switch you need to be looking at an industial Normally open contact in a IP rated enclosure There is one on here T-15 with the cores soldered in to IP67 http://www.panasonic...1_0106_en_t.pdf http://www.digikey.co.uk/uk/en/ph/nkk/s_series.html Covers http://www.conrad-uk...itch-Series-T15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I've had the standard ones that Vehicle wiring do with the rubber boot on the front of my truck for about 8 years, and it still works perfectly. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
