Choosing an Electrical Switch

Safety Limit Switches

Protect machinery and ensure the safety of personnel—these switches will open the circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick.

Compact Safety Limit Switches

Shorter and thinner than other safety limit switches, these are sized to fit tight spaces.

Manual-Reset Safety Limit Switches

Prevent equipment from automatically restarting—these switches must be manually reset each time they're actuated.

Limit Switches

When a moving object contacts the actuator on these switches, they open or close a circuit. They have the rapid-closing action of a snap-acting switch, but with a larger actuator for large objects.

Build-Your-Own Limit Switches

Combine an actuator and a switch to assemble the exact limit switch you need.

Heavy Duty Limit Switches

Rugged enough for mining operations, these limit switches require a high actuation force, like heavy rocks moving on a conveyor.

Wireless Self-Powered Limit Switches

Install these limit switches where changing a battery or routing wires might be difficult—they power themselves when a moving object contacts the actuator.

Low-Profile Limit Switches

Stack these slim switches together, or fit them into tight spaces. They're rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion.

Hazardous Location Limit Switches

Safely open or close a circuit near ignitable gases and dust—the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material.

Washdown Limit Switches

Rated NEMA 3S and IP69K, these switches can handle washdowns with high pressures and temperatures. They’re also protected from oil/coolant spraying, precipitation, and temporary submersion.

Snap-Acting Switches

Open and close circuits in a snap. These switches actuate quickly to minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking.

Harsh Environment Snap-Acting Switches

Open and close circuits in a snap—even in harsh conditions. With a rubber-encased housing and stainless steel bracket, these switches handle high vibrations and resist corrosion. They’re rated IP68 for protection from dust and temporary submersion.

Enclosed Snap-Acting Switches

Enclosures protect these snap-acting switches from the environment.

Mil. Spec. Washdown Snap-Acting Switches

Keep out dirt and moisture—the sealed housing on these switches is watertight and meets MIL-PRF-8805.

Enclosed Washdown Snap-Acting Switches

Rated NEMA 4 , these enclosed switches have a sealed actuator for protection from washdowns.

Enclosed Wet-Location Snap-Acting Switches

Rated IP67, these switches have an enclosure that shields their interior during temporary submersion. They open and close circuits in a snap—their quick actuation minimizes arcing and keeps contacts from sticking.

Subminiature Snap-Acting Switches

At least 25% smaller than our Miniature Snap-Acting Switches, these switches are often used to trigger actions from inside a vehicle’s door or an engine compartment.

Subminiature Wet-Location Snap-Acting Switches

Built for tight spaces exposed to water, these switches have a housing that's less than 1" long and IP67 rated for protection from temporary submersion.

Light-Touch Subminiature Snap-Acting Switches

Actuate these switches with a fraction of the force of other subminiature switches for increased responsiveness. Among the smallest snap-acting switches we offer, they fit into the tiniest of spaces.

Light-Touch Miniature Snap-Acting Switches

Smaller and more sensitive than standard snap-acting switches, these switches fit in tight spaces and actuate from light pressure.

Miniature Snap-Acting Switches

Smaller than standard snap-acting switches, these switches trigger actions in tight spaces. They’re used in components as small as computer mice and engine restart switches.

Ultra-Miniature Snap-Acting Switches

Trigger actions in devices as small as phones and drones. The smallest snap-acting switches we offer, these switches fit into the tiniest of spaces and help keep weight to a minimum.
