16 mm Panel-Mount Build-Your-Own Plastic Switches
Choose an actuator and contact block to make your own switch. All switches are rated NEMA 4, 13, and IP65 for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying.
Actuators spring back (momentary), but can be wired to stay switched (maintained).
Add a bulb to illuminate actuators. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.
Use removal tools to replace bulbs, lenses, and contact blocks.
Mounting wrenches make it easier to install switches in crowded panels.
