Manual Switches

Wet-Location Toggle Switches

A rubber seal protects these switches from splashing water.

Covers for Toggle Switches

Protect toggle switches from moisture and dust by replacing panel mounting nuts with these rubber covers.

Heavy Duty Covers for Toggle Switches

A nickel-plated brass cap protects toggles from impact.

Seals for Toggle Switches

Create a seal around the base of a toggle while leaving the actuator exposed.

Pull-to-Unlock Toggle Switches

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

12 mm Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches

Install in 12 mm dia. cutouts.

Covers for Push-Button Switches

These rubber covers protect switches from splashing liquid.

Wet-Location Pendant Switches

These switches withstand temporary submersion.

Corrosion-Resistant Washdown Foot Switches

Rated NEMA 6P, 13, and IP68, these switches protect against corrosion, washdowns, and temporary submersion.

Washdown Any-Direction Foot Switches

Rated NEMA 6P and IP68, these switches are protected against washdowns, corrosion, and temporary submersion.

Wireless Foot Switches

Control equipment from up to 40 feet away—these switches include a transmitter and a receiver that connects to equipment.

Limit Switches

Harsh Environment Snap-Acting Switches

With a rubber-encased housing and stainless steel bracket, these switches resist vibration and corrosion. They're rated IP68 for protection from dust and temporary submersion.

Sealed Limit Switches

Sealed actuators prevent these switches from jamming, even when exposed to oil, sand, mud, or ice.

Proximity Switches

DC Metallic-Object Proximity Switches

These switches use DC input voltage and produce PNP or NPN signal output. They're often used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

No-Distance-Correction DC
Metallic-Object Proximity Switches

Eliminate the need to calculate the sensing distance when using different metals—these switches sense all metal at the same distance. Also known as K=1 sensors.

Hazardous Location DC
Metallic-Object Proximity Switches

Use these switches to sense metallic objects in environments containing flammable gases and combustible dust. ATEX and IECEx certified to protect against explosion, they produce a low-current, low-voltage NAMUR signal, so they won’t ignite or create sparks.

Rotatable DC Metallic-Object Proximity Switches

Turn the face on these switches to sense metallic objects from the front, sides, top, or bottom.

Hazardous Location Rotatable DC
Metallic-Object Proximity Switches

Twist the sensor to detect metallic objects where explosive dust or gas may be present—the sensor rotates for front, side, top, or bottom sensing. These switches are UL and C-UL listed as well as ATEX and IECEx certified for hazardous locations.

AC/DC Metallic-Object Proximity Switches

Switches accept both AC and DC input voltage.

Harsh Environment Photoelectric Switches

Rated IP69K, these switches can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns and temporary submersion.

Hazardous Location DC
Universal-Object Proximity Switches

These switches use a NAMUR signal to operate at a low current and voltage, so they won’t ignite or produce sparks. ATEX certified, they protect against explosion in environments containing flammable gases and combustible dust. Switches sense both metallic and nonmetallic objects.

Flat DC Universal-Object Proximity Switches

Easily mount these flat switches to a base or rail.

Harsh Environment DC
Universal-Object Proximity Switches

Rated NEMA 4X, 6P, IP68 and IP69K, these switches resist corrosion and high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns, and can withstand temporary submersion.

Level Switches for Conductive Liquids

Short probes are built into the tip of these switches.

Noncontact Level Switches for Conductive Liquids

Measure the level of conductive liquids without drilling a hole in your tank—these switches mount to the outside of the tank and track the capacitance between them and the tank’s contents.
