30 mm Emergency Stop Panel-Mount Push-Button Switches
Immediately cut power with a single push. These switches are rated for protection from low-pressure streams of water and oil/coolant spraying. They have positive force contacts that will open a circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. Switches include enough contact blocks to control the number of circuits listed.
Switches with lockout latch when you depress the button, and can be locked in that position using a lockout or padlock with a 9/32" shackle diameter.
Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits, or to replace the included contact block.

Emergency Stop Outlet-Box-Mount Push-Button Switches
Immediately cut power with a single push. The large palm-sized buttons on these switches provide an easy target, so they're easy to use even while wearing gloves. When the button is depressed, the switch latches and can be locked in that position using a lockout or padlock with a 9/32” shackle diameter (not included). All have positive force contacts that will open the circuit when actuated even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. They're rated NEMA 13 and IP65 for protection from oil/coolant spraying and 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.

Low-Profile Wet-Location Limit Switches
Stack these slim switches together, or fit them into tight spaces. They're rated IP67 for protection from temporary submersion. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They’re often used on conveyor systems and elevators.
Switches with powder-coated zinc and plastic housings are rated NEMA 4 and 13 for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying.

Corrosion-Resistant Washdown Limit Switches
Rated NEMA 6P, 13, and IP67, these switches are protected from corrosion, oil/coolant spraying, washdowns, and temporary submersion. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They’re often used on conveyor systems and bin filling operations.
Switches with wire leads are rated NEMA 3S and IP69K and protected from rain, snow and sleet, and from high temperature, high pressure jets of water.

Sealed Wet-Location Limit Switches
Sealed actuators prevent these switches from jamming, even when exposed to sand, mud, or dirt. They're rated IP67 for temporary submersion. They have a slim design and can be stacked together or fit into narrow spaces. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They're often used on conveyor systems and elevators.
Switches with powder-coated zinc and plastic housings are rated NEMA 4 and 13 for protection from washdowns and oil/coolant spraying.

Manual-Reset Safety Limit Switches
Prevent equipment from automatically restarting—these switches must be manually reset each time they're actuated. Pull the knob to reset. Positive-force contacts open the circuit when actuated, even if a spring fails or the contacts stick. When an object in motion comes into contact with the actuator, it sends a signal to open or close a circuit. They’re often used on conveyor systems and elevators. All are rated IP67 for protection from washdowns and temporary submersion.
Style C switches have an actuator that allows you to adjust its height, making it easier to align switch with the target during installation.

Frame-Mounted Safety Switches
Also known as interlock switches, these ensure the safety of personnel by automatically shutting off power to machinery when an access door opens. Mount the switch to the door frame and mount a key to the door so that the key is inserted into the switch when the door is closed. When the door opens, the key is removed from the switch and the machine shuts down. They’re often used with machine guards.
Style A-F 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.
IP67 rated switches protect against temporary submersion.
Flexible keys (sold separately) pivot 15° to make it easier to align with the switch during installation.
