Washdown Enclosed Disconnect Switches
Rated IP66, these switches are protected from washdowns. They cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance.
Switches with lockout secure in the off position with a padlock with a maximum shackle diameter of 5/16” (not included).
Use additional power poles to control more than three circuits. Add neutral poles to open and close the neutral leg of a three phase system.

Durable Disconnect Switches

Protected by a steel enclosure, these switches withstand tougher conditions than switches in a plastic housing. Also known as safety switches, they have quick-make/quick-break action to eliminate arcing and prolong switch life. They have a lockout to secure in the off position using a padlock (not included).
Use switches with a fuse holder where overload protection is needed. When used with UL Class RK1, RK5, or T fuses, they require rejection-style fuse clips. Note: Horsepower ratings are based on time-delay fuses installed.
Swithes with safety interlock keep the door closed when the switch is on, and prevent the switch from turning on when the door is open.

Outdoor Durable Disconnect Switches

A raintight NEMA 3R rated enclosure protects these switches from falling liquids and light splashing. The enclosure is steel, so it withstands tougher conditions than plastic enclosures. All have quick-make/quick-break action to eliminate arcing and prolong switch life. They have a lockout to secure in the off position using a padlock (not included).
Use switches with a fuse holder where overload protection is needed. When used with UL Class RK1, RK5, or T fuses, they require rejection-style fuse clips. Note: Horsepower ratings are based on time-delay fuses installed.

Infrequent-Cycle High-Current Relays


For use with equipment that cycles on and off, these relays meet UL 508 for air conditioning and heating. Connections are accessible from the front, so you can mount relays side-by-side. Also known as definite-purpose contactors.
Enclosures (sold separately) are NEMA 1 rated to protect contacts from corrosion.
Also Available: Auxiliary contacts for 3.8"-7.2" Ht. relays. They allow you to add a signaling device or control another relay. Please select 6564K99, then select the McMaster-Carr part number of your relay and whether you want to switch one circuit on (1 Normally Open) or off (1 Normally Closed).

DIN-Rail Mount Long-Life High-Current Relays

With no moving parts, these solid state relays have an extended service life. Mount them directly to 35 mm DIN rail. They have an integrated heat sink that disperses heat to provide optimal convection cooling. An LED indicator tells you if they are open or closed. Relays are rated for continuous operating duty. They do not switch DC loads.
