Lorlin Electronics, the UK’s longest established switch manufacturer announces the addition of a new model to their range of key lock switches. The SKL miniature key operated lock switch has a barrel diameter of just 12mm making it ideal for small control panel applications such as vending machines and office equipment.
Manufactured at Lorlin’s own factory in the UK the SKL key lock switch offers a single pole – single throw action and has contacts rated at 24V AD or DC at 0.5A. The switch has a minimum life expectancy of greater than 20,000 operations and is finished in bright chrome with a stainless steel capped bezel. The nickel-plated brass keys operate a radial cylinder with four pin tumblers and may be inserted and removed in locked and unlocked positions as required.

Dan Walker, Sales Manager at Lorlin Electronics comments. ”We have introduced the SKL key lock switch to meet a large market for medium security access to electrical and electronic equipment and control systems. The small size will be particularly useful to designers of access and control panels where space is at a premium.”
Lorlin’s SKL lock switch will have many applications for operator level security and service access to vending machines, office equipment, control and alarm panels, office and hotel environmental control systems. The new SKL key switch is available direct from Lorlin or from franchised distributors worldwide. For more information go to www.lorlin.co.uk
