    When a moving object contacts the actuator on these switches, they open or close a circuit. They have the rapid-closing action of a snap-acting switch, but with a larger actuator. This makes them a good choice for use with large objects—for instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor.
    Plunger Actuator—Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate, similar to a button.
    Roller Plunger Actuator—Switches with a roller plunger actuator have a roller that moves when an object pushes the actuator. This reduces friction during actuation to limit wear and tear on your switch.
    Cross Roller Plunger Actuator—Switches with a cross roller plunger actuator have a roller that moves when an object pushes the actuator. This reduces friction during actuation to limit wear and tear on your switch. The roller moves perpendicular to the mounting direction.
    Roller Lever Actuator—Switches with a roller lever actuator use a lever with a roller at the end to activate. This allows parts to glide across the actuation surface with minimal friction, limiting wear and tear on your switch.
    Rod Actuator—Switches with a rod actuator use a rod extending out of the body to actuate, so they’ll activate even if an object is far away.
    Wobble Stick Actuator—Switches with a wobble stick actuator have an arm that rotates 360°, so you don’t need to align it in a specific direction. Since the actuator is flexible, it won’t snap if pushed backward. That makes these switches a great choice for systems that get jammed often.
    Styles E and F—Styles E and F let you adjust the actuator’s height to align it with your target.
    NEMA 13 Enclosure Rating—Switches rated NEMA 13 are protected against dirt and oil/coolant spraying.
    IP67 Enclosure Rating—Switches rated IP67 are protected against dust and temporary submersion.

    Save space in your control cabinet. These narrow relays are often used for low-current switching applications, such as on small motors and pilot lights. They plug into a socket (sold separately) for quick installation.
    Relay sockets mount directly on 35 mm DIN rail (also known as DIN 3 rail). Those with screw terminals connect and disconnect wire when you turn the screws. They can also mount to a flat surface. Those with spring-clamp terminals connect and disconnect to wires without needing to turn screws. Insert a screwdriver into the slot to release the spring clamp holding the wire in place.

    Heat Sinks

    With no moving parts, these solid-state relays are fast switching and require less maintenance, last longer, and are quieter than mechanical switches.
    Relays with High-Starting-Current Protection—Relays with high-starting-current protection are designed with integrated circuits that prevent damage from the large burst of electricity when a device, such as a motor or pump, turns on.
    Heat Sinks—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 or a thermal pad should be placed between the heat sink and relay. Silicone compound is sold separately for heat sinks that do not include it but require it. Two-circuit relays don’t require silicone for mounting.
