Choosing an Electrical Switch

Cut-to-Length Low-Profile Strip Switches

Customize the length of these switches by cutting them from a 50-foot roll. They're narrow and thin, so they can be hidden under carpeting or installed anywhere space is limited. Actuate them anywhere along the length of the switch. A complete system includes a strip switch and a termination kit (sold separately).

Optional mounting channels secure switches to a flat surface.

Use surface fillers for vinyl fabric (not included) to seal ends.

Bumper Switches

Sensitive along their entire length, these switches are often used to signal when an overhead door closes or an item reaches the end of a conveyor. The sealed housing protects against exposure to weather.

Optional mounting channels (sold separately) secure switches to walls or conveyors.

Safety Bumper Switches

Prevent automatic doors from closing on a person or an object—these switches immediately turn machinery off when actuated with minimal force. Combine with a controller (sold separately) to create a self-monitoring system that also shuts off machinery when a fault is detected. They’re sensitive along their entire length and often used to signal when an overhead door closes or when an item reaches the end of a conveyor. The attached mounting channel can be mounted to a door or flat surface. Punch or drill holes into the channel to match an existing hole pattern or create a new mounting pattern. Switches are rated IP65 for protection from washdowns.

High-Force Safety Bumper Switches

Minimize false triggers—these switches require 10 lbs. of actuation force in order to shut off machinery immediately. Combine with a controller (sold separately) to create a self-monitoring system that also shuts off machinery when a fault is detected. They’re sensitive along their entire length and often used to signal when an overhead door closes or when an item reaches the end of a conveyor. The attached mounting channel can be mounted to a door or flat surface. Punch or drill holes into the channel to match an existing hole pattern or create a new mounting pattern. Switches are rated IP67 for protection from washdowns and temporary submersion.
