Lorlin continues to expand their SRL series Key operated miniature lock switch range with the addition of the IRL impulsion type. The IRL provides two switch positions, a maintained centre “neutral” position and the “active” position at 60º clockwise with a spring return to the centre.

The simple to mount Lorlin IRL key switch requires just a 16mm panel piercing hole, projects less than 30mm behind the mounting panel and is available with either single or double pole switching contacts.

This new key lock switch configuration has applications in secure re-setting of alarm and control systems, industrial and factory equipment, security gates and shutters, vending machines and many other applications.

In common with the existing, very successful, sealed WRL miniature switch the new IRL impulsion switch is capable of withstanding a cable pull force of over 50N to meet the vigorous environment found on vehicles and portable equipment. With switch contacts rated at 1A, 24V ac/dc resistive load the IRL has an operating temperature of -20 to +65ºC.

The locks on the new Lorlin IRL impulsion switch can have up to 200 differs keys or be supplied with a common key. Front panel bezels are finished in bright silver as standard, and a matt black finish is available to order.

Rob Peach, Technical Marketing Manager for Lorlin Electronics comments;”There is an ever increasing demand for switching solutions and as new applications emerge we will continue to expand our product range. Our new IRL impulsion switch is a good example of this. Here at Lorlin we pride ourselves on being able to provide what our customers really want rather than just offer standard off-the-shelf solutions which may not be ideal. Our ability to design and manufacture on site in the UK provides access to immediate solutions which we are looking forward to demonstrate at electronica this year.”
