    Multi-Way Toggle Light Switches

    Image of Product. Spring-Clamp-Terminal

Wire Connection. Front orientation. Light Switches. Multi-Way Toggle Light Switches, 3-Way Switches with Spring-Clamp-Terminal Wire Connection.

    Spring-Clamp-Terminal Wire

    Connection

    Often used in large, open workspaces, these switches can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control lights on the same circuit. With a protruding switch, they’re easily flipped on and off. These switches fit standard wall plates (not included).
    3-Way Switch—Three-way switches work in pairs to control lights from two different locations.
    Spring-Clamp-Terminal Wire Connection—Switches with spring-clamp terminals install quicker than those with screw terminals. To install, push stripped wire into the clamp for a secure connection.

    Also known as three-way switches, these are often used in large, open workspaces and can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control lights on the same circuit. They work in pairs to control lights from two different locations. Actuate the switch by pressing on the wide, flat area. With a slim, low-profile design, they protrude less than toggle switches. All fit standard wall plates (not included).
    Spring-Clamp-Terminal Wire Connection—Switches with spring-clamp terminals install quickly to create a secure connection. Just push a stripped wire into the clamp—no need to bend wire and screw it down.

    LED—Dimmers for LEDs only use the 0-10V dimming standard—pair them with 0-10V DC dimmable bulbs.
    3-Way Switch—Three-way dimmers let you control the same circuit of lights from two locations, so they’re often used in large, open workspaces. Pair them with a 3-way on/off switch.

    Also known as three-way switches, these are often used in large, open workspaces and can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control lights on the same circuit. They work in pairs to control lights from two different locations. To prevent accidental activation, they require a key to turn lights on and off. They’re keyed alike, so all switches actuate with the same key. They also work with AC motor loads up to 80% of the current rating. All fit standard wall plates (not included).

    Panel-Mount Light Dimmers

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Light Dimmers. Panel-Mount Light Dimmers.
    Brighten or dim your facility or workstation's light from a control panel. These dimmers fit through a standard panel cutout. Lightly press and hold your finger to adjust the light level. Rated IP67, these dimmers are so watertight they could even handle brief submersion. They also seal out dust.
    Dimmers are great if you want to control the brightness from one place but turn the light on or off from a switch somewhere else. For example, you might want to dim a light over your storage area from a main control panel for energy efficiency but still be able to turn it on or off when you enter the area.
    Light Dimmers with On/Off Switch—Dimmers with an on/off switch control power and brightness in one. Quickly tap them to turn the light on or off. When you turn it on, it returns to the last brightness level you set.

    Safe to use near ignitable gases and dust, the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. All are UL listed and CSA certified for use in hazardous locations. Yank the cable anywhere along your line to quickly cut power in emergencies. They have positive-force, snap-open contacts that open a circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. The contacts will remain open until you tension the cable and reset the switch. Use the tension indicator to visually confirm that they’re reset correctly.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Safety Switches. Frame-Mounted Safety Switches, Style C.

    Key Shown Actuating from the Side

    Style C

    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.
    Style C—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.
    IP67 Enclosure Rating—IP67 rated switches protect against temporary submersion.
    Key Included—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.
