FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between W11 and T16 series?
A1: W11 = standard 5A, IP67, suitable for low-power humid environments; T16 = high current 16A, IP40, suitable for high-temperature, high-power indoor devices.
Q2: What do the codes A01, A02, A04, A07 mean?
A2: They indicate optimized handles or actuation forms for specific devices, allowing quick selection.
Q3: Why is the T16 series not IP67 waterproof?
A3: Sealing high-current switches is challenging; IP40 is sufficient for indoor dust protection. Custom waterproof high-current models can be requested from ZINGEAR.
Q4: Can the mechanical lifespan really reach 100,000 cycles?
A4: T16 series has ≥100,000 cycles, but actual lifespan depends on environment and usage frequency.
Q5: Can terminals or actuators be customized?
A5: Yes, including actuator type, terminal angle, and wire harness length.
