22 mm Panel-Mount Build-Your-Own Plastic Switches
Choose an actuator and contact block to make your own switch. Actuators are rated NEMA 3S, 4X and 13 for protection from dust, outdoor environments, corrosion, oil, and washdowns. Use legend plates (not included) to label switches. BACO Controls switches are only compatible with BACO manufactured legend plates.
Contact blocks with mounting latch accept additional contact blocks to control more circuits.
Mounting tools make it easier to install switches in crowded panels.
