Snap-Acting Switches
Open and close circuits quickly to minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking. These switches are often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures or as an internal component in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
Plastic covers (sold separately) are compatible with switches with screw terminals. They fit over the bottom of the switch to prevent contact with live terminals.

Harsh Environment Snap-Acting Switches
With a rubber-encased housing and stainless steel bracket, these switches resist vibration and corrosion. They’re rated IP68 for protection from dust and temporary submersion. To minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking, they open and close circuits quickly. They’re often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures or as an internal component in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.

Enclosed Snap-Acting Switches
Enclosures protect these snap-acting switches from the environment. They open and close circuits quickly to minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking. They’re often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures or as an internal component in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate.
Switches with a roller plunger, cross roller plunger, or roller lever actuator allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard plungers or levers. This prevents wear and tear over time.
Switches with a lever actuator have an arm that increases the size of the actuation surface.

Mil. Spec. Washdown Snap-Acting Switches
Keep out dirt and moisture—the sealed housing on these switches is watertight and meet MIL-PRF-8805. They’re sized to fit in the tiniest of spaces. To minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking, they open and close circuits quickly. They’re often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures or as an internal component in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate.
Switches with a roller lever actuator allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard levers.

Enclosed Wet-Location Snap-Acting Switches
Rated IP67, these switches have an enclosure that shields their interior during temporary submersion. They open and close circuits quickly to minimize arcing and keep contacts from sticking. These switches are often used as door-open indicators on enclosures or as an internal component in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
All switches are actuated by pushing a plunger. Switches with a roller plunger actuator allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard plungers.

Subminiature Wet-Location Snap-Acting Switches
Built for tight spaces exposed to water, these switches have a housing that's less than 1" long and IP67 rated for protection from temporary submersion. They open and close circuits quickly to minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking. They’re often used as door-open indicators on appliances and enclosures or as internal components in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate.
Switches with a lever actuator have an arm that increases the size of the actuation surface.
Switches with a roller lever actuator allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard levers. This prevents wear and tear over time.

Subminiature Snap-Acting Switches
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.
Simulated roller lever actuator switches have a curved arm that can be pressed down for actuation by forward, backward, and repeated back-and-forth movement.

Light-Touch Subminiature Snap-Acting Switches
Actuate these switches with a fraction of the force of other subminiature switches for increased responsiveness. They’re a good choice if you need reliable actuation even from a light touch. Among the smallest snap-acting switches we offer, they fit into the tiniest of spaces. To minimize arcing and prevent contacts from sticking, they open and close circuits quickly. They’re often used as door-open indicators on enclosures or as internal components in limit, pressure, and temperature switches.
Switches with a plunger actuator require a push to actuate.
Switches with a lever actuator have an arm that increases the size of the actuation surface.
Switches with a roller lever actuator allow parts to glide across the actuation surface with less friction than standard levers. This prevents wear and tear over time.
