    Sequenced Latching Relays

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Latching Relays. Sequenced Latching Relays.
    These relays switch through a series of different circuit configurations every time they receive an input voltage. The input voltage latches them in position, so they don’t require a constant voltage to stay switched. Use them to control motors, pumps, and lighting. The covered terminals prevent contact with live connections. Mount to 35 mm DIN rail. Also known as step relays.

    Safety Relays

    Receive signals from safety monitoring relays or controllers to switch devices off and on because of a system failure. Also known as force-guided or mechanically linked contacts, the interlocking opposing contacts on these relays cannot be open or closed at the same time. To keep your system from receiving false switching signals, the interlocking opposing contact must remain open even if a contact welds closed.
    IP20 rated, they have recessed terminals that prevent fingers and other objects from touching live circuits. These relays have been tested to safety standards that can help you achieve your system's PL (performance level) and SIL (safety integrity level). Choose a relay with a PL and SIL rating to meet the needs of your system. Higher ratings indicate greater safety protection. As your system becomes more complex, you generally require a higher safety protection level. Mount them to 35mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 Rail).

    Relays that meet SIL 2 are tested for applications with a probability of failure of 0.1% to 1%. They’re often used for emergency shutdowns, and fire, gas, and overpressure detection.

    Interface Safety Relays

    Image of Specification. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Safety Relays. Interface Safety Relays.
    These relays pair the transmission reliability of an interface relay with the fail-safe operation of a safety relay. Use them to communicate signals to devices like motors or sensors. They have interlocking contacts—also known as force-guided or mechanically linked contacts—so opposing contacts won't close at the same time. This minimizes the chance of arcing, so electricity won't jump across the contacts and interfere with your relay or system. They also have an interface that isolates input and output circuits to prevent damage from voltage spikes, reduce signal interference, and amplify signal. Mount them on 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail). The relays disconnect from the socket for quick replacement.
    LED Indicator—Relays with LED indicator light up when the relay is on, so you’ll know it’s wired correctly and can tell at a glance whether it’s on or off.

    Two-Hand Push-Button Safety Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Push-Button Switches. Two-Hand Push-Button Safety Switches.
    It takes two hands to activate these switches, minimizing the risk of accidental equipment start-up. They have an emergency stop push-button to immediately cut power. They’re rated IP65 for protection from low-pressure washdowns.
    Switches with push-button actuators require a safety relay (sold separately) for a complete system.

    Two-Hand Finger-Touch Safety Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Finger-Touch Switches. Two-Hand Finger-Touch Safety Switches.
    It takes two hands to activate these switches, minimizing the risk of accidental equipment start-up. They have an emergency stop push-button to immediately cut power. They’re rated IP65 for protection from low-pressure washdowns.
    Switches turn circuits on and off with a light touch, even when wearing gloves. An infrared sensor detects the lightest finger contact, and an indicator lights up to confirm when they are activated. Because they don't require you to press down a button to operate, they meet ANSI B11.TR1 standards to reduce hand, wrist, and arm fatigue. You'll need a relay or controller to complete your system—upgrade to a controller if you plan to operate additional devices beyond your switch.
