Keep your hands free for other tasks by triggering switches with your foot.

Back-pivot switches actuate with a tap of the toe. Optional guards prevent accidental switch actuation.

Send signals in response to changing magnetic fields to trigger processes or monitor position, speed, and current. These switches communicate with devices such as programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and microcontrollers. They’re also known as hall effect sensors. To install, push their contacts through holes in a circuit board, then solder them in place.

Momentary switches change their output signal based on whether a magnetic field is present. They’re often used to trigger a process in response to changing magnetic fields, such as turning on a light when a door opens. When they detect a north or south pole, they output a low-voltage signal. When they don’t detect a magnetic field at all, they output a high-voltage signal.

These switches actuate when a magnet comes within sensing distance, and reset when the magnet moves away. They’re often used to detect when a door or window opens. Mount the switch in a stationary position, such as a door frame, and mount the magnet to a movable object, such as the door. They do not include a safety relay and cannot be used with safety-guard doors found on machinery.

Switches with a plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

Switches with an LED status indicator let you visually confirm that it’s connected and whether it’s actuated.

IP65 rated switches protect against rinsing and dust. IP67 rated switches protect against temporary submersion, as well as dust and dirt. IP68 rated switches protect against washdowns and continuous submersion. Use IP69K rated switches in demanding environments, such as roadways.
