Th NTE Anti−Vandal Series consists of 3 catagories of
pushbutton switches designated Anti−Vandal,
Security and Snap−Action Security. The distinctive
features are:

Anti−Vandal − Highest impact resistance provided by a
knurled back nut or mechanical stop and added
ruggedness provided by a stainless steel actuator and
bushing. The 19mm models meet IK08 which specifies
the switch must withstand a hammer blow to the actuator
with a striking energy of 6 joules, while the 22mm models
meet IK10 which specifies the switch must similarly
withstand 20 joules of energy. In both of these cases, no
resulting damage is permissible.

Security − High impact resistance and ruggedness with
a large variety of options, including actuator shapes,
electrical functions, connections, finish and marking
options.

Snap−Action Security − High impact resistance and
ruggedness. All of these models feature tactile
response.
