Hey, you should focus on the switch’s IP (Ingress Protection) rating. The IP rating consists of two numbers, with the first indicating resistance to solids (like dust) and the second indicating resistance to liquids. For instance, an IP67 rating means the switch is dust-tight (6) and can be submerged in water up to 1 meter (7).
