Panel-Mount Disconnect Switches
Install these switches in a panel cutout. They cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. All are UL listed, C-UL listed, and CE marked—they meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.
Switches with lockout secure in the off position with a padlock with a maximum shackle diameter of 5/16” (not included).
Add auxiliary contact blocks to send a signal or connect to another device, such as an alarm or indicating light.
Use additional power poles to control more than three circuits. Add neutral poles to open and close the neutral leg of a three phase system.
Terminal covers prevent contact with live terminals.

Rated IP69K, these switches withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. They cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. All have a lockout so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included).

Enclosure Disconnect Switches
Install these switches inside an enclosure to prevent it from opening when power is on—turn the switch to disconnect power and release the door. Cut the shaft to fit the enclosure. Use a padlock (not included) to lock switches in the off position. Mount to DIN rail inside an enclosure; mounting depth is the distance from the panel door to the DIN rail. UL listed, C-UL listed, and CE marked, these switches meet American, Canadian, and European safety standards.
Use optional sealing gaskets in washdown environments; they create an IP65 rated seal around the actuator.
Add auxiliary contact blocks to send a signal or connect to another device, such as an alarm or indicating light.
Use additional power poles to control more than three circuits. Add neutral poles to open and close the neutral leg of a three phase system.
Add junction blocks to connect a ground wire.
Terminal covers prevent contact with live terminals.

Install these switches in a panel cutout. Small enough to fit in tight spaces, they handle comparable electrical loads to standard sized switches. They cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. All have a lockout so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included). They’re rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

Enclosure Door Switches

Activate or deactivate fans, lights, and other devices inside your enclosure when you open or close the door. These switches work with most enclosures, since you can slide the housing up to 1 3/8” to make the switch longer or shorter. Mount screws anywhere along the mounting slots to install.
Normally open switches activate a device such as a fan when you close the door.
Normally closed switches set off an alarm, light, or other device when you open the door.
Normally open and normally closed switches control two devices at the same time—for example, use them to turn a light on and a fan off when you open the door.
