22 mm Panel-Mount Key Switches
Limit access to sensitive equipment—these switches require a key to actuate. They're rated IP66, IP69K, NEMA 3S, NEMA 4X, and NEMA 13, and are UL and C-UL Recognized Components. Switches include enough contact blocks to control the number of circuits listed. Contact blocks are rated IP20 and are UL and C-UL Listed. Use BACO legend plates (not included) to label switches.
Mounting tools (sold separately) make it easier to install switches in crowded panels.
Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits, or to replace the included contact block.

Vibration-Resistant 22 mm Panel-Mount Key Switches

To prevent accidental actuation and limit access to sensitive equipment, these switches require a key to turn circuits on or off. The contact block and actuator are all one piece, so they won’t separate in high-vibration applications. Install them in a standard panel cutout. They’re keyed alike, so they will all open with the same key.

Hazardous Location 30 mm Panel-Mount Key Switches
Designed for use near ignitable gases, fibers, and dust, these switches have a housing that seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. You’ll know they’re safe because they’re NEC Class 1, Division 2 Groups A-D and NEC Zone 1 Groups IIC-IIA certified for hazardous locations. These switches require a key to turn circuits on or off, preventing accidental actuation and limiting access to sensitive equipment. Since they’re keyed alike, all open with the same key. Install them in a standard panel cutout.
Switches that control two circuits come with a contact block for each circuit.
Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits, or to replace the included contact block.

Access-Delay Frame-Mounted Safety Switches


Delay access to hazardous areas until conditions are safe; use these switches with machines that take time to stop after they are turned off. Mount the switch to the door frame and mount the key to the door so that the key is inserted into the switch when the door is closed. When the door is pulled, the key is held in place with 225 lbs. of force until the switch receives a signal from a time-delay relay, motion sensor, or position sensor (not included) that the machine’s motion has stopped. After the motion has stopped, the key can be removed from the switch, releasing the access door. They’re often used with machine guards. All have positive-force, normally-closed contacts that will open a circuit when the switch is actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They’re rated for protection from washdowns and temporary submersion.
Style A and B have a key entry on the top and side of the switch.
Emergency override keys (sold separately) bypass the access delay feature.

Key-Actuated Light Switches

Prevent accidental activation—these switches require a key to turn lights on and off. They’re keyed alike, so all switches actuate with the same key. They also work with AC motor loads up to 80% of the current rating. All fit standard wall plates (not included).

Multi-Way Key-Actuated Light Switches

Also known as three-way switches, these are often used in large, open workspaces and can be wired on opposite ends of the room to control lights on the same circuit. They work in pairs to control lights from two different locations. To prevent accidental activation, they require a key to turn lights on and off. They’re keyed alike, so all switches actuate with the same key. They also work with AC motor loads up to 80% of the current rating. All fit standard wall plates (not included).

High-Security Key-Actuated Light Switches

Secure sensitive lighting equipment; these switches have a round key that is difficult to duplicate. The key is required to turn lights on and off. They’re keyed alike, so all switches actuate with the same key. They also work with AC motor loads up to 80% of the current rating.
