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 include enough contact blocks to control the number of circuits listed.

Pull reset, illuminated pull reset, and turn reset switches are rated NEMA 4, 13, and IP66. Contact blocks for these switches are rated IP20.

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.

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

Actuate these switches with a quick push. A housing seals in anything that could ignite flammable material, so you can use them where ignitable gas and dust may be present. You’ll know they’re safe because they meet NEC Class I Div. 2, Groups B, C, D for hazardous locations. Install them in a standard panel cutout.

Mushroom switches have a button that sticks out from the panel. Because they’re easy to identify and actuate, these switches are often used to stop equipment. They have a twist reset, so they’ll return to their starting position when you rotate the button.

Switches come with a contact block for each number of circuits they control. Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits, or to replace the included contact block.

Immediately cut power with a single push. These switches are rated for protection from low-pressure streams of water and oil/coolant spraying. They have positive force contacts that will open a circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. Mount them in a standard panel cutout.

Illuminated switches are visible in low light. They include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.

Turn twist switches back on by twisting the button and pull switches by pulling it. Add an optional lockout (sold separately) on either kind to cover the button and prevent changes to its position.

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

A red light flashes when the actuator is pushed, making it easy to see from a distance. These switches immediately cut power with a single push. They're housed in a protective yellow enclosure for quick identification. All have positive force contacts that will open a circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They're rated IP65 for protection from water projected by a nozzle.

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

Auxiliary contacts allow you to add a signaling device or control another switch.

These aluminum switches are rated NEMA 4, NEMA 13, and IP66 for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying. Housed in a yellow enclosure for quick identification, they immediately cut power with a single push. They meet EN 60947-5-1 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. UL listed and CSA certified, they also meet American and Canadian safety standards. The front of these switches is UL recognized.

Key reset switches stop you from accidentally resetting the switch before you’ve dealt with the emergency. They’re keyed alike, meaning they all open with the same key.

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

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 plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

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.

Switches that meet EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-5 comply with European safety standards for reliably stopping machines.

Save space in your setup—these switches double as handles on machines and equipment. Grab the handle and trigger the push-button to open the door and activate the switch in one motion. They’re often used on cages surrounding robotics.

Style D display colors and patterns on the illuminated handle to show multiple machine conditions. For example, you could program the handle to be blue when a machine is operating at half speed and change to flashing red when it stops.

Add a matching handle without a switch to keep door pulls uniform.

Clip these switches onto nearby structures made from T-slotted framing to quickly cut power with the push of a button. These switches meet EN 60947-5-1 and EN 60947-5-5, so they comply with European safety standards for reliably stopping machines.

You don’t need to take apart your existing structure or open the switch’s plastic housing to mount them. Fasten the included bracket to a rail with the included drop-in fasteners, then clip the switch onto the bracket.

Switches with two buttons have one button for an emergency stop and another button that can be wired to any equipment nearby.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
