Carling Technologies GP Series Pushbutton Switches
Carling Technologies GP Series Pushbutton Switches are designed for in-cab installation for on-and-off highway vehicles. These GP pushbutton switches are configurable with or without a red LED backlight, the durable polycarbonate switch that can be laser-etched in red with one of several standard icons. The GP series 2-position and the snap-in panel-mounted switch are available with ON-OFF or momentary ON-OFF circuitry. GP series pushbutton switches can operate at a temperature ranging from -40°C to +85°C with a contact rating of 0.25A at 24V DC. Typical applications include trucks, buses, construction, mining, and agriculture.

Some car dashboards have lots of buttons. When my little brother asked about the hazard flasher button, I tried telling him it was the Park Anywhere button. But seriously, dashboard buttons, especially those in off-highway vehicles, need to be tough and reliable like the Littelfuse GP series. These one-pole switches are rated for 24V DC and 0.25A. They have an integrated red LED backlight and are IP54-rated. With an electrical life of 50000 cycles, and a mechanical life cycle of 438000, these switches can last a long time, and their operating temperature from -40°C to 85°C means they can survive just about anywhere a vehicle can, so you could use that Park Anywhere button on the frozen tundra or the hot desert. They’re also designed and tested to resist strong vibrations shock and drops rated for shock to MIL-STD-202G, and resistant to dropping per SAE J1455 REV AUG2012.
