    Durable Disconnect Switches

    Protected by a steel enclosure, these switches withstand tougher conditions than switches in a plastic housing. Also known as safety switches, they have quick-make/quick-break action to eliminate arcing and prolong switch life. They have a lockout to secure in the off position using a padlock (not included).

    Fuse Holder—Switches with a fuse holder are used where overload protection is needed. When the current exceeds the fuse’s rating, the fuse will blow, interrupting the circuit to prevent the switch from overheating, breaking, or causing a fire. These switches require rejection-style fuse clips when used with UL Class RK1, RK5, or T fuses. Note: Horsepower ratings are based on time-delay fuses installed.
    Safety Interlock—Switches with safety interlock keep the door closed when the switch is on and prevent the switch from turning on when the door is open.

    Fit these relays where standard spade-terminal relays are too big. You can connect them three ways. Plug them into a socket (sold separately), connect them with quick-disconnect terminals, or solder wires directly to the terminals. An LED indicator shows you the status of the relay, so you know it’s connected and wired correctly.
    3 Circuits Controlled—Relays that control 2 or more circuits have a lockable test button, so you can test their function. When you press the button, the relay switches contacts. Use this button when checking a relay for proper function before installing it, or when investigating issues with wired relays.
    Sockets with Screw Terminals—Relay sockets mount directly on 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail) for fast installation. You can also mount them to a flat surface using screws.

    DIN-Rail Mount Interface Relays

    Isolate input and output circuits to prevent damage from voltage spikes, reduce signal interference, and amplify signal. These relays interface between your controller and components—they receive a signal from the controller to switch power on or off to the components. All have an LED indicator that shows you if your switch is actuated, so you know it’s connected and wired correctly. Use them to communicate signals to devices like motors or sensors. Mount them on 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail).

    Screw Terminals

    Sealed for safety, these relays are a good choice for hazardous locations where combustible or corrosive gases may be present.
    Circular-Pin Terminal—Relays with circular-pin terminals or quick-disconnect terminals are hermetically sealed—completely air- and watertight—to shield internal parts from gases, moisture, and other contaminants. They plug into relay sockets (sold separately) for easy installation.
    Sockets with Screw Terminals—Relay sockets mount to 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail) or flat surfaces.
