A single-piece construction prevents the contact block from separating from the actuator in high-vibration applications. These switches immediately cut power with a single push. They have positive force contacts that will open a circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. These switches meet American, Canadian, European, and other global safety requirements. They’re rated NEMA 4X, NEMA 13, and IP65 for protection from corrosion, washdowns, and oil/coolant spraying.

Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.

Continuously illuminated switches stay lit once installed for high visibility in dark areas.

Immediately cut power with a single push. These switches meet EN 418 for compliance with European machine directives for emergency stop applications. All have positive force contacts that will open a circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They're rated IP66, IP69K, NEMA 3S, NEMA 4X, and NEMA 13, and are UL and C-UL Recognized Components. Switches include enough contact blocks to control the number of circuits listed. Contact blocks are rated IP20 and are UL and C-UL Listed.

Key reset switches are keyed alike, so if you buy multiple switches they will all reset with the same key.

Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits, or replace the included contact block.

A protective plastic enclosure resists dents, chips, and cracks, so you can install these switches outside of panels. Mount them on a wall, for example, or tether them to a cord at your workstation. They actuate with a push for quick stops and starts. All are NEMA and IP rated to protect against corrosion, washdowns, and oil/coolant spraying. All have knockouts or integrated conduit connections to make it easy to attach conduit or add cord grips.

Flush buttons are easy to clean and difficult to damage because they mount flat.

Mushroom buttons stick out and are often used to stop equipment because they are easy to push.

Switches rated NEMA 3S will also work in cold temperatures and when covered in ice.

Made of yellow polycarbonate plastic, these enclosed switches are easy to see and resist dents, chips, and cracks. They are more corrosion resistant than aluminum enclosed switches and withstand washdowns and oil/coolant spraying. Mount them to a wall or attach a cord grip to position them at your workstation. They have positive force contacts that will open a circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. A single push will immediately cut power.

The switches can be reset by manually pulling, turning or unlocking them by key. Key reset switches are keyed alike, so if you buy multiple switches, they will all reset with the same key.

Switches with a guard prevent accidental actuation. To stop the switches from being reset or turned on during machine repairs, lock the guard with a padlock.

Switches with a power indicator alert you from the front and sides when the switch has been actuated.

These switches are rated IP66, IP69K, NEMA 3S, NEMA 4X, and NEMA 13, and are UL and C-UL Recognized Components. They include enough contact blocks to control the number of circuits listed. Contact blocks are rated IP20 and are UL and C-UL Listed.

Three-position switches are off in the center position.

Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.

Mounting tools (sold separately) make it easier to install switches in crowded panels.

Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits, or replace the included contact block.

The enclosure not only protects these switches, but also adds options for how you install them. Secure them to a wall or use the knockout to attach a cord grip and cord, so you can move them around your workstation. Made of polycarbonate plastic, the enclosure resists denting, chipping, and cracking. It’s also NEMA rated to withstand corrosion, washdowns, and spraying oil or coolant. Since you have to twist the lever to actuate these switches, they won’t accidentally flip if someone bumps into them. Choose switches based on their actuator color for an easy way to tell them apart.

Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits, or to replace the included contact block.

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.

Push-button actuators are best for applications where you need quick starts and stops. Those that are illuminated make switches easier to see in low light. Round illuminated push-button actuators require a contact block with a bulb holder. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage. Oval illuminated push-button actuators only require a contact block.

Lever actuators must be gripped and twisted to activate. This means they’re a good choice in areas where you don’t want switches to activate if someone accidentally bumps into them.

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.

IP67 rated actuators are protected from dust and temporary submersion.

Padlockable covers prevent unauthorized use.
