According to Robert Davies, Marketing Manager with EAO Ltd., the new Series 09 sealed push-button switches feature robust and long lasting elements optimised for low current operation in demanding hard-wired vehiclular applications: ‘‘They were specially developed for safe and convenient operation under all conditions and can easily be operated with gloved hands.
