    About Electrical Switches
    industrial info icon

    Choose a switch with the right trigger type, number of inputs, and control functions to power your equipment.

    Suitable for areas with space limitations, these switches have a low profile and a small footprint. They lay flat or mount to a wall. Typically used in start/stop and door opening applications, switches can also be placed underneath objects to alert when the object is removed. All have a sealed housing that resists water and alcohols (not suitable for continuous contact).

    To help prevent injuries, this padding triggers a safety stop when it’s touched. Built-in pressure sensors signal your equipment to stop moving within nine milliseconds. Install this padding anywhere contact is a concern—it’s often used on carriages, guide rails, and autonomous vehicles.
    For a complete system, you’ll need a control box and enough pads to surround your equipment. All components meet international safety design standards.
    Padding
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Switch Padding. Contact-Sensing Switch Padding, Padding.
    Pads are made up of a mounting base and an outer layer that contains the sensors. Made from foam, the outer layer cushions impacts and reduces the risk of injury. Pads also have built-in LEDs that change color to indicate their status. Blue means that the padding is fully operational. If a pad senses contact, it turns red, and the surrounding pads turn yellow.
    To install, remove the outer layer and use the mounting holes to fasten the base to your equipment or to t-slot framing. Each pad includes a cord to connect to another pad. You can link up to 15 together.

    Connect control boxes to your safety circuit to send a stop signal if any pad detects contact. They have duplicate outputs—also called redundant signals—so they’ll stop your equipment even if one output fails. Once you’ve cleared a collision, press a button to reset the safety system.
    These boxes are already programmed to control up to 15 pads, so there’s no complicated configuration software or programming needed. To install, use the included cords to connect to a pad and to terminals on your PLC, relay, or controller.

    Corrosion-Resistant Low-Profile Ribbon Switches

    Made with stainless steel conductors, these switches resist corrosion in damp areas. They’re less than 1/4” thick, so they’ll fit under floor mats and in other tight spaces. Control doors, lights, and alarms by pressing or stepping anywhere along the switch to actuate it. They’re more rigid than other strip switches, so mounting channels aren’t necessary—just stick them in place with mounting tape.

    Cut-to-Length Low-Profile Ribbon Switches

    Customize the length of these switches by cutting them from a 50-foot roll. They're narrow and thin, so they can be hidden under carpeting or installed anywhere space is limited. Actuate them anywhere along the length of the switch. A complete system includes a strip switch and a termination kit (sold separately).

    Heavy Duty Safety Switch Mats

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Switch Mats. Heavy Duty Safety Switch Mats.
    Thicker than standard safety switch mats, these can withstand repeated impact from heavy and sharp objects. They turn equipment off when stepped on or when a fault is detected, preventing personnel from getting too close to dangerous equipment when equipment is on. A complete switch requires a mat and a controller (sold separately). Together they meet ANSI/RIA R15.06 safety requirements. Mats are rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

    Ribbon Switches

    Step or press anywhere along the switch to control doors, lights, or alarms. These switches are often placed across driveways and walkways to detect foot and vehicle traffic. Rated IP67, they can be temporarily submerged in puddles without the water harming their internal parts. These switches are bright yellow, so they can easily be spotted from far away. Made from PVC, they are flexible enough to conform to irregular and uneven surfaces.

    Safety Switch Mats

    Prevent personnel from getting too close to dangerous equipment while it’s running. Step anywhere on these mats and they can turn on warning lights and alarms or shut down equipment. To minimize circuit damage, they also activate if they detect any malfunctions in your equipment’s electrical system. A complete switch requires a mat and a controller (sold separately). Together they meet ANSI/RIA R15.06 safety requirements. Mats are rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Inset. Switch Mats. Safety Switch Mats, Diamond-Tread Surface.
    Mats with diamond tread have a raised pattern on the surface to add traction and prevent slipping. Made from aluminum, they’re more durable than plastic mats, and less likely to be punctured or damaged by impact. However, they’re also more rigid than plastic mats, so they can only be used on flat surfaces. These mats are often used in high-traffic welding shops and freight warehouses.

    Wear-Resistant Bumper Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Bumper Switches. Wear-Resistant Bumper Switches.
    Made of polycarbonate, these switches won't wear down even as objects constantly bump into them, unlike rubber bumper switches. They come in a sealed housing, so you don't need a mounting channel. Sensitive along their entire length, they're often used to signal when they've been hit by a cart or other rolling equipment.

    Flat and completely smooth, these switches are easy to wipe down. They’re rated NEMA 3R, so they seal out water that could damage the circuitry. They also won’t corrode from mild cleaning solutions. With just a light tap, you can switch lights on and off, even if you’re wearing gloves.
    302-304 Stainless Steel—Switches with a stainless steel wall plate resist wear and tear better than switches with a plastic wall plate.

    Minimize false triggers—these switches require 10 lbs. of actuation force in order to shut off machinery immediately. Combine with a controller (sold separately) to create a self-monitoring system that also shuts off machinery when a fault is detected. They’re sensitive along their entire length and often used to signal when an overhead door closes or when an item reaches the end of a conveyor. The attached mounting channel can be mounted to a door or flat surface. Punch or drill holes into the channel to match an existing hole pattern or create a new mounting pattern. Switches are rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.
