    High-Amp Outlet-Box-Mount Key Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Key Switches. High-Amp Outlet-Box-Mount Key Switches.
    Able to withstand high currents, these switches can be used with motors and pumps. They require a key to turn circuits on or off, limiting access to sensitive equipment. All are keyed alike, so they open with the same key.

    Rated IP67 for protection from dust and temporary submersion. Also known as high-inrush current switches, these switches can handle starting currents up to 10 times greater than their current rating, such as when a motor starts. They're often used with amplifiers, power supplies, and other high-starting-current devices. Easy to press, these switches have a wide, flat actuation area. Color-code your switches so that operators can identify their function at a glance.
