Key Electrical Lock Switch 12mm

Description

Key Electrical Lock Switch 12mm The Key Switch Lock 12mm is a compact and reliable security component designed for controlling electrical circuits using a physical key mechanism. It features a 12mm mounting diameter, making it ideal for installation in small panels, control boxes, and enclosures where space is limited. This switch is widely used in applications where authorized access is required to operate or activate a device, such as in vending machines, alarm systems, industrial machinery, scooters, and custom electronics projects. This type of key switch operates by rotating a key to open or close an electrical circuit. It typically comes in a 2-position configuration (ON/OFF or ON/ON), allowing the user to turn the key to switch between states. The switch remains in the selected position until the key is turned again, providing a latching action. Some models also support momentary actions depending on the design. The mechanical key system ensures that only individuals with the correct key can operate the switch, adding a layer of physical access control to the system. The switch body is usually constructed from metal or chrome-plated zinc alloy, ensuring durability and resistance to wear. It is commonly rated for low-voltage DC applications, such as 12V or 24V systems, and can typically handle currents up to 1A or 3A, making it suitable for light to moderate electrical loads. It includes a threaded shaft for secure panel mounting and comes with two matching keys and a l
