3/4" Panel-Mount Key Switches

With Wire Leads

Prevent accidental activation and limit access—these switches require a key to turn circuits on or off. All fit into a standard panel cutout.

Keyed alike switches all open with the same key.

Keyed differently switches each open with a unique key.

Keyed differently/master keyed switches are keyed differently but can be used with a master key (sold separately).

High-Security 3/4" Panel-Mount Key Switches

With a round key that is difficult to duplicate, these switches provide a higher degree of security than standard key switches.

Keyed alike switches all open with the same key.

Keyed differently switches each open with a unique key.

Keyed differently/master keyed switches are keyed differently but can be used with a master key (sold separately).

Light Beam Finger-Touch Switches

An infrared light beam senses the lightest finger contact to switch a circuit on or off. The included guard prevents accidental activation. An indicator lights up to confirm that switches are actuated. They’re rated NEMA 4X, 13, and IP66 for protection from corrosion, washdowns, and oil/coolant spraying.

Switches with a 5-pole mini plug can quickly be changed out.

Heat Sink

With no moving parts, these solid-state relays are fast switching and require less maintenance, last longer, and are quieter than mechanical switches.

Heat sinks disperse heat to increase the relay’s current rating. Mount them to 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail) for fast installation. They also mount to flat surfaces. Before mounting one-circuit relays, silicone compound should be applied between the heat sink and relay. Silicone is sold separately for 75A and 90A one-circuit relays. Two-circuit relays don’t require silicone for mounting.
