Unlock Superior Control: The Definitive Guide to Industrial Key Switches

2025-09-26

In high-risk environments, where unauthorized access or accidental activation can have serious consequences, key switches are the essential guardians of electrical systems. These specialized devices are meticulously designed to allow operation only through the rotation of a carefully designed key, ensuring command exclusivity for industrial machinery, security facilities, and public infrastructure. As a pioneer in electromechanical security solutions, YIJIA manufactures key switches that combine high durability with precise circuit control.

Key Switch FAQs

Q: Which key switch contact configuration best prevents accidental machine startup?

A: Use NC (normally closed) contacts in series with the power circuit. Rotation breaks the circuit only when properly engaged, eliminating false startup. YIJIA utilizes dual-circuit isolation and is suitable for SIL 3 safety systems.


Q: How do YIJIA key switches withstand high-vibration industrial environments?

A: The POM housing absorbs resonance, while the silver alloy contacts prevent arc welding.


Q: Can existing security systems be integrated with YIJIA key switches?

A: Absolutely. We offer:

7-pin Medeco® keyway compatibility

Restricted key control system

Custom bit coding with master/sub-master hierarchy

All switches include NEMA TS-2 compliance documentation for municipal approval.
