Choosing an Electrical Switch

30 mm Panel-Mount Build-Your-Own Metal Switches

Choose an actuator and contact block to make your own switch. All switches are rated for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying. NEMA 4X rated switches are also protected from corrosion. Use legend plates (not included) to label switches.

Key actuators are keyed alike, so they will all open with the same key.

Switch guards protect flush and projecting switches from accidental activation.

22 mm Panel-Mount Build-Your-Own Plastic Switches

Choose an actuator and contact block to make your own switch. Actuators are rated NEMA 3S, 4X and 13 for protection from dust, outdoor environments, corrosion, oil, and washdowns. They mount into standard panel cutouts. Use legend plates (not included) to label switches. BACO Controls switches are only compatible with BACO manufactured legend plates.

Key actuators prevent accidental activation because they require a key to turn on and off. They are keyed alike, so they will all open with the same key.

Contact blocks with mounting latch accept additional contact blocks to control more circuits.

Mounting tools make it easier to install switches in crowded panels.

22 mm Panel-Mount Build-Your-Own Metal Switches

Choose an actuator and contact block to make your own switch. All switches are IP and NEMA rated for protection from dust, washdown, and chemicals. For an easy way to tell switches apart without labels, choose them based on their actuator color.

Key actuators prevent accidental activation because they require a key to turn on and off. They are keyed alike, so they will all open with the same key.

Contact blocks with mounting latch accept additional contact blocks to control more circuits.
