At least 25% smaller than our Miniature Snap-Acting Switches, these switches are often used to trigger actions from inside a vehicle’s door or an engine compartment. They open and close circuits faster than other switches, preventing contacts from sticking by reducing the time that they're near one another. They also minimize the chance of arcing, so electricity won’t jump across contacts.

Plunger actuator switches send a signal when the actuator is pushed directly downward. They have the smallest actuator of the actuators here, reducing the risk of accidental switching.

Lever actuator switches have a larger surface area than plunger actuator switches and can be pushed down by front-to-back movement, so they require less precision to activate.

Roller lever actuator switches allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard levers. This prevents wear and tear over time.

Also known as inductive proximity switches, these detect metallic objects even if they’re obscured by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. Sensing distance is based on the target material. The distance listed is for mild steel. They’re often used with programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and produce PNP or NPN signal output. To determine the signal output of a switch you are replacing, use Testers for Proximity and Photoelectric Switches (not included).

Flush switches, also known as embeddable or shielded switches, can be mounted so that the sensor face is level with the surface of any material, including metal. They’re more accurate than projecting switches at close range and can be mounted close together without causing interference. Projecting switches, also known as non-embeddable or unshielded switches, must be mounted with the area around the sensor face free of metal. They have a longer sensing distance than flush switches with the same diameter.

Switches with a plug connect to cables with a socket (sold separately), allowing you to quickly connect and disconnect the switch.

Switches with IO link can be configured remotely when connected to a PLC, a human-machine interface (HMI), or a computer.

IP65 rated switches are protected from washdowns. IP67 and IP68 rated switches are protected from temporary submersion. NEMA 6P rated switches are protected from corrosion and washdowns.

Use these switches to sense objects in volatile areas. Intrinsically safe, they produce a NAMUR signal, which operates at a low current and voltage, so they won’t ignite or create sparks in hazardous locations. They are ATEX and IECEx internationally certified to protect against explosion in environments containing flammable gases and combustible dust. Switches must be connected to the required barriers (sold separately), which reduce the current and voltage coming from your power source. Unlike the switches, however, the barriers must be located in a separate nonhazardous area.

Also known as inductive proximity switches, these switches detect metallic objects—even if they’re obscured by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. Send their signal to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to support automated processes. Switches meet various domestic and international safety standards.

Commonly used to measure the speed of motors and other rotating equipment in the oil and gas industry, chemical plants, and grain mills, these switches detect objects each time they pass through the slot. Switches are intrinsically safe and produce a low-current, low-voltage NAMUR signal, so they won’t ignite or create sparks while being used. ATEX and IECEx certified, they meet international standards to protect against explosion in environments containing flammable gases and combustible dust. Prior to use, these switches must be connected to the required barriers (sold separately), which reduce the current and voltage coming from your power source. Unlike the switches, barriers must be installed in a separate nonhazardous area.

Twist the sensor to detect metallic objects where explosive dust or gas may be present—the sensor rotates for front, side, top, or bottom sensing. These switches are UL and C-UL listed as well as ATEX and IECEx certified for hazardous locations. Their NAMUR signal produces low current and low voltage, so they won’t spark or ignite. You must connect them to a barrier (sold separately), which reduces the current and voltage that enters your hazardous area. Install the barrier in a separate location that doesn’t contain explosive gas or dust.

Because you can rotate their sensor, these switches make good replacements for limit switches with actuators that could break when hit. They’re often known as inductive proximity switches and detect objects even if they’re covered by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. Sensing distance is based on the type of material that’s sensed; the distance listed is for mild steel. Send signals from these switches to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to support automated processes.

These switches have a 4-pole micro M12 plug that connects to cables with a socket (sold separately), so you can quickly connect and disconnect them. You can also check on them from any angle, thanks to LED status indicators on their corners. All are CE marked for safety.

Flush switches, also called embeddable and shielded switches, are more accurate than projecting switches at close range. They also won’t interfere with each other’s signals when installed close together. Their sensor face mounts evenly with any material, including metal.

Projecting switches, also known as non-embeddable and unshielded switches, sense objects farther away than flush switches. But, the area around the sensor must be metal free.

IP rated, all switches seal out dust and water from high-pressure washdowns. IP67- and IP68-rated switches also withstand some submersion.

Mount these intrinsically safe switches to flat surfaces in volatile areas. Their low-current, low-voltage NAMUR signal means they won’t ignite or create sparks while in use. ATEX and IECEx certified, they meet international standards to protect against explosion where combustible dust and flammable gases are present. Switches must connect to the required barriers (sold separately), which reduce the current and voltage going into the hazardous location. While the switches can safely be used in hazardous areas, the barriers must be installed in a separate nonhazardous area.

Also known as inductive proximity switches, they remotely sense metallic objects even if they’re obscured by water, oil, dirt, or a surface finish. These switches have the same high switching distance for all metals. Because of this, they’re often used for detecting weaker metals, such as tin and aluminum, in the food and beverage industry. The larger the size, the greater the sensing distance. Send their signal to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to support automated processes within your system. All of these switches are rated IP67, so they stand up to dust and brief submersion. They meet various domestic and international safety standards.
