    The wide surface of these switches makes them easy to press on and off, even if your hands are full and you need to use an elbow. They’re often used as power switches on electronic devices and control panels.
    Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed the bulb voltage.
    Illuminated—Illuminated switches are easy to see in dim and dark areas. They come in red and green, so you can color code your set up.
    For 13/16" Diameter Panel Cutouts—Switches for a 13/16” dia. panel cutout are round, so you can use a drill bit or knockout to install them instead of cutting a rectangular hole.
    On-On—Switches with an on-on position designation alternate power between sets of terminals.

    Maximize space in a panel—these switches are smaller than most standard rocker switches.
    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.
    On-On—Switches with an on-on position designation alternate power between sets of terminals.

    Rated IP67 for protection from dust and temporary submersion. Also known as high-inrush current switches, these switches can handle starting currents up to 10 times greater than their current rating, such as when a motor starts. They're often used with amplifiers, power supplies, and other high-starting-current devices. Easy to press, these switches have a wide, flat actuation area. Color-code your switches so that operators can identify their function at a glance.
