5 Way Mini Switch

The 5-Way mini-switch delivers multi-mode control in a low-profile, mini-envelope: 4-way toggling plus a 5th center pushbutton. It offers positive tactile feedback and integrates easily in panel-mounted or multi-function display configurations. Also available without the push mode and in multiple power ratings. Military and commercial grades are available.

Backup valve with black dial and gray cylindrical body for industrial fluid control.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Select series use Guardian’s patented Triplex circuitry—three redundant switching circuits—with simplex/duplex options for critical or fail-safe applications.

Depends on series: up to 1.8 million cycles (thumbwheel), 1,000,000 cycles (pushbutton Triplex), and 50,000 cycles on several trigger/rocker variants.

Yes. Models include moisture-proof/dust-tight rockers and moisture-resistant/dust-tight MS-qualified 4-way switches for rugged environments.

Multiple power ratings across families; circuit options include SPST/SPDT (slide) and SPDT/DPDT (rocker). High-current options include trigger switches up to 10 A.

Yes. Several series support grip or panel integration, including multi-function display use (e.g., linear transducer; 5-way mini).
