Vibration-Resistant 22 mm Panel-Mount Lever Switches
Prevent accidental actuation from bumps—these switches require you to grip and twist the lever to turn the switch. 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.

Foot Switches
Keep your hands free for other tasks by triggering switches with your foot.
Back-pivot switches actuate with a tap of the toe.

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.

Cable-Pull Switches
Connect these switches to a cable to control circuits from a distance. They're typically used to turn off production lines and material handling systems. Mount in any position and tug on the cable to send a switching signal. Equipment will not start up again until the switch is manually reset.

Miniature Snap-Acting Switches
Smaller than standard size snap-acting switches, these fit in tight spaces. They open and close circuits quickly to minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking. They’re often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures or as an internal component in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
