FAQs
What types of electrical switches does Superior Engineering Electrical supply in Guild?
We stock and distribute a full range of AC and DC switches, including toggle, rocker, push-button, rotary, micro-limit, selector and emergency-stop models. Current ratings span from 1 A for signal circuits up to 630 A for heavy-duty isolation, with voltage classes from 12 VDC control up to 1000 VAC power switching. All models are available in momentary or latching configurations, with options for illumination, key interlock and modular contact blocks.
How do I choose the right switch for my application?
Start by confirming the electrical parameters—system voltage, continuous current and breaking capacity—then consider environmental factors such as enclosure rating (IP 65, IP 67, etc.), temperature range and vibration level. Next, decide on the actuation style that best suits operator ergonomics and panel layout. Our engineers can run load-type calculations (inductive, resistive or motor) and short-circuit studies to verify suitability. Send us your schematic or equipment spec and we’ll recommend a certified switch in under 24 hours.
Are Superior Engineering switches certified to Australian and international standards?
Yes. All power and control switches carry AS/NZS 60947 certification and are third-party tested for CE, UL and IEC compliance where applicable. Certificates of Conformity (CoCs), material RoHS declarations and electrical test reports are available on request. For mining or hazardous-area projects we also supply Ex-rated switches with IECEx and ATEX approvals.
Can your switches operate in harsh or outdoor environments?
Absolutely. We hold stock of marine-grade stainless-steel and UV-stabilised polycarbonate bodies with ingress ratings up to IP 69 K and impact ratings to IK10. Sealed bellows, O-rings and conformal-coated contacts protect against salt spray, dust and chemical splash, while optional silicone heaters keep mechanisms functional down to –40 °C. Ask for our ‘Extreme Duty’ datasheet for detailed endurance and salt-fog test results.
What are the typical lead times and minimum order quantities?
Standard catalogue items ship the same or next business day from our Guild warehouse. Custom laser-engraved rockers, multi-gang panels or colour-coded caps usually take 3–5 working days. There is no minimum order quantity on stock parts; custom builds have an MOQ of 10 units. For scheduled production orders we can set up a Kanban or consignment agreement to guarantee zero-stock-out supply to your line.
Do you provide technical support and installation assistance?
Yes. Our in-house application engineers offer free pre-sales consulting, schematic reviews and CAD footprint libraries. After purchase you receive wiring diagrams, torque specifications and installation videos. On-site commissioning within the Guild region can be arranged, and our 24/7 hotline offers real-time troubleshooting. All switches carry a 3-year warranty backed by local service centres.
