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).
