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

    Vibration-Resistant Plastic 22 mm Panel-Mount Push-Button-Actuator Emergency Stop Switches

    A single-piece construction prevents the contact block from separating from the actuator in high-vibration applications. These switches immediately cut power with a single push. They have positive force contacts that will open a circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. These switches meet American, Canadian, European, and other global safety requirements. They’re rated NEMA 4X, NEMA 13, and IP65 for protection from corrosion, washdowns, and oil/coolant spraying.
    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.
    Continuous—Continuously illuminated switches stay lit once installed for high visibility in dark areas.

    Actuate these switches with a quick push. A housing seals in anything that could ignite flammable material, so you can use them where ignitable gas and dust may be present. You’ll know they’re safe because they meet NEC Class I Div. 2, Groups B, C, D for hazardous locations. Install them in a standard panel cutout.
    Switches come with a contact block for each number of circuits they control.
    Mushroom Push Button—Mushroom switches have a button that sticks out from the panel. Because they’re easy to identify and actuate, these switches are often used to stop equipment. They have a twist reset, so they’ll return to their starting position when you rotate the button.

    Made for areas where ignitable gas and vapor may be present, these switches have a housing that seals in anything that could spark flammable material. You'll know they're safe because they're NEC Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D certified for hazardous locations. They're also UL and C-UL listed and CSA certified. They require you to grip and twist a lever to turn them on or off, so they won’t accidentally actuate if you bump into them. Mount into a standard panel cutout.

    2 Directions (IP67)

    Immediately cut power by pulling a cable. These switches are often used to turn off production lines and material handling systems in an emergency. All have positive-force, snap-open contacts that open a circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. The contacts will remain open until you tension the cable and reset the switch.
    2 Directions—Two-direction switches can be used with tension springs (not included) to open contacts and stop machinery if the cable breaks.
    Switch Installation Kits—Accessory kits (sold separately) simplify the installation of a new switch.
