Choosing an Electrical Switch

Rocker Switches

Design-Your-Own Rocker Switches

Choose from a variety of messages and colored lenses to combine a rocker with a base and wiring socket for a complete switch.

Heavy Duty Rocker Switches

With a durable steel housing, these switches withstand tough, repetitive use.

Washdown High-Starting-Current
Rocker Switches

Rated IP67 for protection from washdowns and temporary submersion.

High-Starting-Current
Rocker Switches

Also known as high-inrush current switches, these switches can handle starting currents up to 10 times greater than their rating, such as when a motor starts.

High-Current Rocker Switches

Able to withstand high currents, these switches are often used with motors and pumps.

Miniature Rocker Switches

Maximize space in a panel—these switches are smaller than most standard rocker switches.

Washdown Rocker Switches

Rated IP67, these switches are protected from washdowns.

Toggle Switches

DIN-Rail Mount Miniature
Toggle Switches

Built into a terminal block, these switches mount to DIN rail.

Miniature Toggle Switches

Maximize the space in a panel—these switches are half the size of most toggle switches.

Mil. Spec. Miniature Toggle Switches

Able to withstand splashing, dirt, and high vibration, these switches meet MIL-S-83731. They're half the size of most toggle switches to maximize the space in a panel.

High-Current Toggle Switches

Able to withstand high currents, these switches are often used with motors and pumps.

Pull-to-Unlock Toggle Switches

Prevent accidental actuation—these toggle switches must be pulled up before they can switch a circuit.

Washdown Toggle Switches

A rubber seal protects these switches from washdowns.

Mil. Spec. Washdown
Toggle Switches

These switches meet MIL-S-3950.

Push-Pull Switches

The lever sticks out further than a push button, making it easy to identify the position of these switches.

Light Switches

Rocker Light Switches

Multi-Way Rocker Light Switches

Also known as three-way switches, these are often used in large, open workspaces and can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control lights on the same circuit.

Multi-Way Light Dimmers

Often used in large, open workspaces, these switches can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control the brightness of lights on the same circuit. They're also known as three-way switches.

Light Dimmers

Adjust the brightness of lights.

Insertion Flow Switches

Compact Insertion Flow
Switches for Water

At half the height of standard insertion flow switches, these are often used in low-clearance areas.

Insertion Flow Switches for Water

For use in cooling and process systems.

Hazardous Location Insertion
Flow Switches for Water,
Oil, Air, and Inert Gas

For installation in environments with flammable gases and combustible dust, these flow switches are UL listed for use in hazardous locations.

Airflow-Actuated HVAC Switches

Use this switch to sense changes in airflow velocity.

Panel-Mount AC/DC Circuit Breakers

In addition to protecting equipment, these circuit breakers can be used as on/off switches. They can handle high inrush current found in motor start-ups.

IEC Straight-Blade Connectors

IEC Connectors with Power Switch

Instead of hardwiring power supplies, appliances, and other electronic devices, these connectors let you plug in an IEC power cord and turn the power on and off without needing a separate switch.

EMI-Filtering IEC Connectors
with Power Switch

With a built-in switch, these connectors run power to appliances, power supplies, and other electronic devices while also filtering damaging EMI (electromagnetic interference).

Harsh Environment IEC
Connectors with Power Switch

Rated IP67, these connectors create a dust- and watertight seal where they fit into the housing of power supplies, appliances, and other electronic devices. Instead of hardwiring your devices, these connectors let you plug in a standard IEC power cord and turn the power on and off with a built-in switch.

Abrasive Blaster Safety Switches

Add these switches to your abrasive blasting hose to prevent it from spraying if the operator loses control. Also known as deadman switches, they prevent injuries and reduce wasted material by springing back to the off position when the operator lets go.

Ready-to-Use Steel Outlet Boxes

These boxes come ready to use with receptacles and/or light switches installed.
