Push Button Switches

Anti-Vandal Switch

Anti-vandal switch is a category of push button switch, usually referring to metal push button switch (the actuator and housing are made of metal). Metal switches are hard-wearing and ideal for devices which require repetitive/high usage, such as pedestrian crossings, coffee machines, lifts, access control systems, and even push-to-start button engine in cars.

Overview

Rugged Anti-Vandal Switches for Harsh Environments

When your equipment is exposed to extreme weather, public access, or heavy industrial use, standard plastic switches will fail. Daier’s anti-vandal switches (vandal-resistant switches) are engineered with robust metal housings to withstand physical abuse, moisture, and dust, ensuring uninterrupted performance in the most demanding environments.

  • Premium Metal Housings: Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, nickel-plated brass, or anodized aluminum for superior corrosion and wear resistance.
  • Extreme Protection Ratings: Featuring IK08 to IK10 impact resistance against vandalism, and IP65 to IP67 waterproof/dustproof sealing for reliable outdoor operation.
  • Flexible Configurations: Available in mounting sizes from 12mm to 40mm, with momentary or latching actions, and multiple terminal options (solder lug, screw, or pre-wired).
  • Illumination Options: Enhance visibility with durable LED rings or dot illumination, available in single, bi-color, and tri-color variations.

Ideal Applications

Our heavy-duty metal push buttons are the preferred choice for engineers designing equipment for high-traffic or harsh outdoor areas, including:

  • Public Infrastructure: Ticket dispensers, outdoor kiosks, crosswalk buttons, and elevator control panels.
  • Automotive & Marine: Dashboard controls, boat switch panels, and EV charging stations.
  • Industrial Automation: Heavy machinery controls, security gates, and access control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Daier anti-vandal (metal push button) switches are commonly available in cut-out sizes from 8mm to 40mm, including popular options such as 12mm, 16mm, 19mm, and 22mm.

Most series are designed for harsh environments with waterproof/dustproof protection, typically IP65, IP67, or IP68 depending on the model and sealing configuration.

Illumination options include ring, dot, power logo, and custom symbols, in single color, bi-color, or RGB. Non-illuminated metal versions are also available.

Momentary switches return when released. Latching (alternate) switches stay pressed after the first actuation and require a second press to reset.
