Hazardous Location 30 mm Panel-Mount Lever Switches
Made for areas where ignitable gas and vapor may be present, these switches have a housing that seals in anything that could spark flammable material. You'll know they're safe because they're NEC Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D certified for hazardous locations. They're also UL and C-UL listed and CSA certified. They require you to grip and twist a lever to turn them on or off, so they won’t accidentally actuate if you bump into them. Mount into a standard panel cutout.
Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits, or to replace the included contact block.

Contact Blocks for Manual Switches
Make or break an electrical circuit. These contact blocks mount to manual switches and transmit an electrical signal when the switch actuator is engaged. You can stack multiple blocks, so a single switch can control several circuits. This is helpful in setups that require multiple systems to turn on or off at the same time. For example, the switch on a conveyor line could turn off the conveyor and turn on a diverter and alarm.
