    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).

    Fuse Holder—Switches with a fuse holder are used where overload protection is needed. When the current exceeds the fuse’s rating, the fuse will blow, interrupting the circuit to prevent the switch from overheating, breaking, or causing a fire. These switches require rejection-style fuse clips when used with UL Class RK1, RK5, or T fuses. Note: Horsepower ratings are based on time-delay fuses installed.
    Safety Interlock—Switches with safety interlock keep the door closed when the switch is on and prevent the switch from turning on when the door is open.
    Viewing Window—Switches with a viewing window let you see the switch position without opening the enclosure.

    Plunger Actuator

    Wobble Stick

    Actuator

    Safely open or close a circuit near ignitable gases and dust—the housing on these switches seals in anything that could ignite flammable material. You'll know they're safe because they're NEC Class I, Divisions 1, 2 Groups B, C, and D; and Class II, Divisions 1, 2 Groups E, F, and G certified for hazardous locations. These switches send a signal to your circuit when an object hits the actuator—for instance, a box on a conveyor runs into the switch, stopping the conveyor. They open and close circuits as fast as snap-acting switches, but they have a bigger actuator for large objects.
    Plunger Actuator—Switches with a plunger actuator let you adjust the actuator’s height to easily align it with your target. They require a push to activate, similar to a button.
    Wobble Stick Actuator—Switches with a wobble stick actuator have an arm that rotates 360°, so you don’t need to align it in a specific direction. The actuator won’t snap if pushed backward, such as if there’s a jam in your system.

    Enamel-Coated Steel Housing—The enclosure is steel, so it withstands tougher conditions than plastic enclosures.
    Fuse Holder—Use switches with a fuse holder where overload protection is needed. When the current exceeds the rating of the fuse, it blows. This interrupts the circuit and prevents overheating, damage, and fire. When used with UL Class RK1, RK5, or T fuses, they require rejection-style fuse clips.

    Safety Interlock—Switches with safety interlock keep the door closed when the switch is on and prevent the switch from turning on when the door is open.
    Viewing Window—Switches with a viewing window let you see the switch position without opening the enclosure.
    Lockout—They have a lockout to secure in the off position using a padlock (not included).
    NEMA 3R Enclosure Rating—A raintight NEMA 3R rated enclosure protects these switches from falling liquids and light splashing.
