An antivandal switch is a rugged, heavy-duty electromechanical switch designed to withstand harsh environments, frequent use, and physical abuse. It is typically made with durable materials such as stainless steel or reinforced metal, making it resistant to impact, tampering, dust, and moisture.

Antivandal switches are often panel-mounted and may feature a push-button, momentary, or latching action. Many models also include LED illumination for visibility and status indication. Because of their strong construction, they are commonly rated for water and dust resistance (IP-rated).

These switches are widely used in public equipment, industrial machinery, access control systems, kiosks, elevators, and outdoor installations. In simple terms, an antivandal switch is a tough, reliable switch built to operate safely and consistently in demanding or high-traffic environments.
