What Can We Customize?

Six Capability Areas for Your Metal Switch

Customization focuses on our core category — metal switches and signal indicators. Each area can be specified to match your function, panel and environment.

01 Structure & form factor

Mechanical & Form Factor

Panel mounting holes from Ø6 mm to Ø30 mm, with flat, raised, ball and short-body actuators; reduced behind-panel depth; geometry adapted for emergency-stop and rotary controls.

02 Material & surface finish

Materials & Finishes

Stainless steel (SUS304 / SUS316L) for corrosion and hygienic duty, nickel-plated brass, or anodized aluminum — matte black, gunmetal gray or a tint matched to your panel scheme.

03 Laser marking & illumination

Illumination & Marking

High-contrast laser-engraved vector symbols and legends; dot, single-ring or dual-ring light; two- and three-color (RGB) variants with common-anode / common-cathode drive matched to your working voltage.

04 Harness & connectors

Wiring & Connectors

Pre-soldered leads in your specified gauge and length with heat-shrink sleeving, industrial connectors (M8 / M12 / JST) and rear potting or sealing — no hand soldering needed on your assembly line.

05 Contacts & circuitry

Electrical Configuration

Silver-alloy or gold-plated contacts for micro-current circuits; micro-switch mechanism matched to the contact block; NO / NC combinations and operating force with tactile feel tuned to your specification.

06 Sealing & endurance

Environmental Protection

FKM or temperature-rated silicone O-rings, front-face high-protection sealing and impact-resistant metal housings engineered for outdoor and heavy-load duty.

Cooperation Paths

OEM or ODM — We Support Both Ways

Build to Print

OEM / Custom Manufacturing

You hold the design — we deliver precision manufacturing, assembly and testing against your drawing.

  • You provide 2D/3D CAD or a reference sample (.step, .dwg)
  • WDELE reviews tolerances and returns DFM feedback
  • Custom tooling, CNC machining and stamping fabrication
  • 100% electrical inspection before batch dispatch

Concept to Product

ODM / Engineering Co-Design

You define the requirement — our engineers design the switch around your function, space and environment.

  • You specify function, mounting, voltage/current and sealing
  • WDELE engineers the contact block, tactile feel and 3D housing
  • Functional samples supplied for fit and bench testing
  • End-to-end tooling, validation and volume delivery

Collaborative Process

Clear Deliverables at Every Engineering Stage

Four predictable milestones — each closes with a concrete deliverable you review before the next stage begins.

Stage 01

Engineering Review

Feasibility check of your drawing and specifications — mechanical fits, contact capacity and the tooling approach.

You Get: DFM feedback and a formal cost assessment
Stage 02

Prototype & Tooling

First articles built by CNC machining or prototype tooling for assembly and fit checks.

You Get: Functional samples with a dimensional FAI sheet
Stage 03

Laboratory Testing

Reliability validation against your duty cycle, sealing and electrical isolation requirements.

You Get: Test report covering endurance cycling, air-tightness, dielectric strength and salt-spray results
Stage 04

Production & Dispatch

Batch manufacturing with in-line electrical checks and per-batch traceability.

You Get: 100% inspected parts with batch traceability records

Manufacturing Backing

Engineered, Made and Verified In-House

The customization capabilities above sit on our own tooling, metal processing and reliability-testing equipment — a direct factory.

WDELE injection molding and precision tooling for switch components

Tooling, Stamping & Injection

Self-built precision tooling and injection molding keep housings and modified flame-retardant PA66 bases dimensionally consistent across every batch.

WDELE CNC machining workshop for metal switch components

CNC Machining & Surface Finishing

CNC metal cutting plus anodizing and multi-layer plating keep parts dimensionally accurate and protect metal surfaces against scratching and corrosion.

WDELE in-house reliability laboratory and test instruments

In-House Reliability Laboratory

Every production run is verified on our own laboratory instruments before dispatch:

  • 2D vision profile measurement for dimensional inspection
  • Endurance testers for actuation-life cycling
  • Cyclic salt-spray chamber for corrosion testing
  • Dielectric withstand and insulation test equipment

Start Your Custom Switch Project

Submit a drawing or describe the requirement — our engineers review it and reply with technical feedback.

Speeds things up if your first submission includes:

  • Switch type or series in mind, or a reference sample
  • Panel mounting hole and available behind-panel depth
  • Working voltage / current and any NO / NC combinations
  • Wiring length, connector preference and target environment

Prefer confidentiality first? We support a signed NDA before technical review begins.
