Panel-Mount Compact Disconnect Switches

Install these switches in a panel cutout. Small enough to fit in tight spaces, they handle comparable electrical loads to standard sized switches. They cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. All have a lockout so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included). They’re rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

Enclosed Compact Disconnect Switches

Small yet mighty, these switches are about as tall and wide as an index card yet durable enough to mount directly to a wall. Their polycarbonate housing protects the switch and resists denting, chipping, and cracking. Rated IP65, the housing also seals out water even in frequently washed down areas. Don’t be fooled by their size—these switches can handle electrical loads comparable to a standard sized switch.
These switches cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. All have a lockout, so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included).

Enclosed Disconnect Switches
Cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. These switches are housed in a protective enclosure that resists denting, chipping, and cracking. Mount them to the wall when you run out of space in an electrical panel.
Switches with lockout secure in the off position with a padlock with a maximum shackle diameter of 5/16” (not included).
Photovoltaic switches can be used with photovoltaic cells which convert sunlight into electricity.

Enclosure Motor Switches

Designed to mount on an electrical enclosure, these switches control motors, lighting, and electric heat circuits. Your enclosure door will only open when the switch is turned to the off position. This ensures equipment is safely off before you open the electrical enclosure. For an extra layer of safety, use a padlock (not included) on the actuator lever to lock switches in the off position. These switches do not provide overload protection.
Cut the shaft to fit your enclosure. Mount to a DIN rail inside an enclosure; mounting depth is the distance from the panel door to the DIN rail.

Frame-Mounted Safety Switches

Also known as interlock switches, these ensure the safety of personnel by automatically shutting off power to machinery when an access door opens. Mount the switch to the door frame and mount a key to the door so that the key is inserted into the switch when the door is closed. When the door opens, the key is removed from the switch and the machine shuts down. They’re often used with machine guards for large robots.
All switches require an actuator key, but not all include one—check whether you need to pick out a separate actuator key. For some switch styles, you can also select the mounting orientation of the key.
Style A-G switches have positive-force, normally closed contacts that will open a circuit when the switch is actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick.
NEMA 4 rated switches protect against washdowns.

Hinge-Actuated Safety Switches


Replace the hinges on access doors or machine guards with these switches to keep your team safe from active machinery. Also known as interlock switches, they automatically shut off power to your machinery when the door or guard opens. They can be mounted on flat frames or aluminum T-slotted framing. These switches have positive-force, normally-closed contacts that will open a circuit when the switch is actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They’re rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

RFID Safety Switches

The convenient, modern alternative to mechanical safety switches. These RFID switches are easier to install, fit a wider range of access points, and can mount horizontally. Since they don't need a traditional key to actuate, they work even if the switch and actuator are slightly misaligned. Also known as interlock switches, they shut off power to equipment as soon as you open the barrier, which disconnects the RFID signal. These switches are often used with small machines. Find them anywhere from a CNC machine’s window to a packaging machine’s service panel. Mount the switch on the frame and the actuator on the barrier. Rated IP67 and IP69K, these switches are protected against temporary submersion and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.
The number of safety outputs, also known as output signal switching devices (OSSDs), tells you how many machines you can control. Each output has a pair of signals that shut down a single machine—if one signal fails, the other takes over as a failsafe.
Switches with a magnetic latch help prevent a barrier from opening by accident, such as from light bumps and low vibrations. The magnet keeps the actuator and switch from separating.
Micro M12 cords (sold separately) connect switches to your system’s circuits.

Tamper-Resistant RFID Safety Switches

Block access to machinery while it's running. These safety switches cut power when their signal disconnects, shutting off equipment as you open machine guards. They link to a single actuator, so no other RFID tag or card can interfere. The unique RFID code means that once the power is cut, no one can bypass the switch and restart equipment while the guard is open.
These switches are often used with small machines where there’s no risk of the barrier closing on its own. Find them anywhere from a CNC machine’s window to a machine-operated saw’s service panel. Mount the switch on the frame and the actuator on the barrier. They're also known as interlock switches. Rated IP67 and IP69K, these switches are protected against temporary submersion and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.
