Metal Body
Frequently Asked Questions
Metal body refers to switches, push buttons, enclosures, or connectors built with a metallic housing, typically aluminum, brass, or stainless steel, chosen for their superior strength, heat resistance, and long-term mechanical durability.
Aluminum, brass, and stainless steel are the most commonly used metals, each selected based on the required balance of weight, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength for the specific application.
Metal body components can withstand higher impact forces, extreme temperatures, and repeated heavy mechanical stress without cracking or deforming, making them better suited for rugged industrial and outdoor environments than plastic alternatives.
Yes, since metal is electrically conductive, metal body components typically include internal insulating materials or bushings around live parts to prevent accidental contact with the conductive housing and ensure user safety.
Many metal body components are treated with protective finishes such as chrome plating, powder coating, or stainless steel construction specifically to resist rust and corrosion in humid, outdoor, or industrial washdown environments.
Metal body construction is commonly available for push buttons, selector switches, industrial connectors, enclosure housings, and control station boxes used in heavy machinery, outdoor installations, and high-vibration industrial settings.
Yes, metal body components are generally heavier, which can require sturdier mounting points, but this added weight also contributes to greater stability and resistance to accidental dislodging in high-vibration applications.
