Carling Technologies, Inc, one of the world's leading manufacturers of circuit protection and control equipment, announces their new V-Series Contura V (Contura Five). This newest addition to the Carlingswitch brand compliments the already popular Contura line of sealed V-Series rocker switches. Used alone or in conjunction with the Contura IV style switches, they create an aesthetically pleasing pod or module of switches ideal for any panel.

The symmetrically curved Contura V actuator provides the perfect complement to the Contura IVs "Shape to create a Shape" design concept. It can be mounted in between two Contura IV's, by itself, or in groups. This actuator style is available with all flush style mounting brackets.

The Contura product line matures and evolves with your product development; always offering creative, aesthetically appealing, yet economical, alternatives in dash panel design. With the Contura line of switches and the V-Series illuminated plugs, panel design can be changed simply by snapping on a new style switch, actuator or plug, with limited increase in inventory.

V-Series Contura switches offer countless unique options including choices for ratings, colors, illuminations and symbols. These switches feature removable actuators in a choice of actuator styles and colors, are available in single or double pole configurations, and can be illuminated with either square and/or bar shaped lenses.

Whatever your application, our Contura switches deliver the performance you demand - and the flexibility you need. There's no challenge which these sealed switches can't help you address. Especially since they're IP66/IP68 certified, UL1500 recognized, and able to withstand temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Never have such rugged switches been available in such attractive packages. A dazzling array of light, lens and legend options on several actuator styles, plus countless circuit combinations, and valuable accessories, make our Contura switches the ideal choice.
