14 mm Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches
These switches are rated IP67 for protection from dust and temporary submersion.
Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.
IP69K rated switches withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns.

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 or as an internal component in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
Plastic covers (sold separately) are compatible with switches with screw terminals. They fit over the bottom of the switch to prevent contact with live terminals.

Tamper-Resistant Magnetically Actuated Switches
Prevent unauthorized use—these switches require coded magnets (sold separately) to actuate, and cannot be bypassed using ordinary magnets. They actuate when a magnet comes within sensing distance, and reset when the magnet moves away. 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’re often used to detect when a door or window opens, and can be used with movable machine guards. All are rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion.
Coded magnets include tamper-resistant one-way screws for mounting. To remove screws, see one-way bits and drivers.
Safety relays are required in safety applications with switches that control two or three circuits.
