CIT’s wide range of anti-vandal switches from are built to last, ensuring continuous operation in harsh conditions and reducing maintenance costs. Their tamper-proof design deters malicious attempts to damage or disable the switch, making them ideal for public use or high-security applications. These switches are commonly used in access control systems, helping prevent unauthorized entry and safeguard sensitive information. The IP-rated sealing protects against water, dust, and chemicals, making our anti-vandal switches suitable for outdoor and industrial applications. With sleek designs and a large variety of customizable options, they blend seamlessly into various environments while maintaining a professional appearance.

CIT anti-vandal switches are made from high-grade stainless steel or anodized aluminum which provide exceptional resistance to corrosion and wear. These switches employ momentary or latching actuation, wherein pressure or force applied to the actuator results in a specific electrical response (ON/OFF, ON/MOM). Nearly all of our anti-vandal switches are IP67 sealed with some lower sealed options depending on the application. These high ratings allow for rugged protection and safeguards them against environmental hazards.

All CIT Relay & Switch anti-vandal switches adhere to international standards, such as RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances), with some being UL (Underwriter Laboratories) approved, ensuring their safety and environmental compliance.

The versatility, durability, and security offered by anti-vandal switches make them indispensable components in modern electronic devices across industries. From enhancing user experience to safeguarding equipment and data, their incorporation in design leads to enhanced device longevity and overall user satisfaction.

Anti-vandal switches are used in a wide array of applications. Being built to withstand heavy use and potential vandalism, they are frequently seen in interactive public kiosks and vending machines. These switches also find applications in industrial settings, ensuring reliable operation in the presence of dust, moisture, and mechanical stresses. Anti-vandal switches play a critical role in access control systems, elevating the security level of buildings and facilities. Transportation and marine equipment are fast-growing markets for anti-vandal switches. This is largely due to their ability to withstand extreme conditions and ensure passenger safety. Anti-vandal switches are employed in various outdoor equipment, such as ticket machines, surveillance cameras, and outdoor lighting controls.
