Choosing an Electrical Switch

Toggle Switches

Wet-Location Toggle Switches

A rubber seal protects these switches from splashing water.

Miniature Toggle Switches

Maximize the space in a panel—these switches are half the size of most toggle switches.

High-Current Toggle Switches

Able to withstand high currents, these switches are often used with motors and pumps.

Pull-to-Unlock Toggle Switches

Prevent accidental actuation—these toggle switches must be pulled up before they can switch a circuit.

16 mm Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches

Install in 16 mm dia. cutouts.

Flush-Mount 16 mm Panel-Mount
Push-Button Switches

Because these switches mount flush against a panel, they're easy to clean and hard to damage.

14 mm Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches

Install in 14 mm dia. cutouts.

12 mm Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches

Install in 12 mm dia. cutouts.

High-Starting-Current Rocker Switches

Also known as high-inrush current switches, these switches can handle starting currents up to 10 times greater than their rating, such as when a motor starts.

Miniature Rocker Switches

Maximize space in a panel—these switches are smaller than most standard rocker switches.

Pendant Switches

Control machinery from a safe distance, or use these switches as call buttons.

Foot Switches

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

Any-Direction Foot Switches

Apply pressure from any direction to actuate these switches.

Slide Switches

Like turning on a flashlight, slide these switches from one side to the other.

Rotary Switches

Control multiple devices with one switch. Turn the shaft to change switch positions.

3/4" Panel-Mount Key Switches

Install these key switches in 3/4" dia. panel cutouts. They require a key to turn circuits on or off, limiting access to sensitive equipment.

Washdown 3/4" Panel-Mount Key Switches

Rated NEMA 4, these switches are protected from washdowns.

Cut-to-Length Low-Profile Switch Mats

Customize the length of these switches by cutting them from a 25-foot roll.

Snap-Acting Switches

Open and close circuits quickly to minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking. These switches are often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures.

Subminiature Snap-Acting Switches

The smallest snap-acting switches we offer, these fit into the tiniest of spaces.

Subminiature Wet-Location Snap-Acting Switches

Small enough to fit in the tiniest spaces, these switches are rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion.

Precision Subminiature Snap-Acting Switches

Actuate these switches with a fraction of the force of other subminiature switches for increased responsiveness.

Power-Saving Panel-Mount Timer Switches

Push and release the button to activate—no electricity required.

Potentiometers

Vary electrical flow to control speed, volume, and light intensity. Also known as variable output switches.

Digital Potentiometers

More precise than analog potentiometers, these have a three-digit display that is easy to read.

Relays

Circuit Board Relays

Smaller than relays with electrical wiring, these relays fit in compact devices. Mount them through holes on circuit boards with their solder pin terminals.

Circuit Board Safety Relays

Reduce connection errors on circuit boards that control machine guards and other safety devices. These relays take up less space on a board than those with electrical wiring because their solder pin terminals mount directly through circuit board holes.
