Harsh Environment Panel-Mount Disconnect Switches
Rated IP69K, these switches withstand high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. They cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. All have a lockout so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included).

Washdown Enclosed Disconnect Switches
The IP66 rated housing not only shields these switches from washdowns but also makes them durable enough to be mounted outside of an electrical panel. These switches 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.

Undervoltage Disconnect Switches
Prevent motors and other equipment from overheating or failing from not having enough voltage. When the supply voltage falls below 35% of the rated voltage, these switches will automatically turn off to protect the circuit from undervoltage. Once the power is cut, they'll keep it isolated to prevent accidental startups during inspection and maintenance.
To prevent unauthorized use of these switches, you can lock them out with a padlock (not included). Even if a padlock blocks them from physically turning off, they’ll disconnect power to the actuator if voltage falls below a safe level.

Enclosure Motor Switches
Designed to mount on an electrical enclosure, these switches control motors, lighting, and electric heat circuits. Your enclosure door will only open when the switch is turned to the off position. This ensures equipment is safely off before you open the electrical enclosure. For an extra layer of safety, use a padlock (not included) on the actuator lever to lock switches in the off position. These switches do not provide overload protection.
Cut the shaft to fit your enclosure. Mount to a DIN rail inside an enclosure; mounting depth is the distance from the panel door to the DIN rail.
