Choosing an Electrical Switch

Switch with Toggle Actuator

Finger Guard

Use these switches to turn motors on and off, or to control lighting and electric heat circuits. They do not provide overload protection.

Toggle switches work like a traditional light switch—just flip the toggle up or down. Even if you’re wearing thick gloves, they’re easy to actuate.

Finger guards (sold separately) cover the screw terminals on your switch, blocking you from touching a live wire. If you need to move the terminal block, they prevent accidental shock.

Enclosed Compact Disconnect Switches

Small yet mighty, these switches are about as tall and wide as an index card yet durable enough to mount directly to a wall. Their polycarbonate housing protects the switch and resists denting, chipping, and cracking. Rated IP65, the housing also seals out water even in frequently washed down areas. Don’t be fooled by their size—these switches can handle electrical loads comparable to a standard sized switch.

These switches 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).

Enclosed Disconnect Switches

Cut power and keep it isolated to prevent equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. These switches are housed in a protective enclosure that resists denting, chipping, and cracking. Mount them to the wall when you run out of space in an electrical panel.

Switches with lockout secure in the off position with a padlock with a maximum shackle diameter of 5/16” (not included).

Photovoltaic switches can be used with photovoltaic cells which convert sunlight into electricity.

Add auxiliary contact blocks to send a signal or connect to another device, such as an alarm or indicating light.

Use additional power poles to control more than three circuits. Add neutral poles to open and close the neutral leg of a three phase system.

Enclosure Disconnect Switches

Install these switches inside an enclosure to prevent it from opening when power is on—turn the switch to disconnect power and release the door. Cut the shaft to fit the enclosure. Use a padlock (not included) to lock switches in the off position. Mount to DIN rail inside an enclosure; mounting depth is the distance from the panel door to the DIN rail. All meet at least one safety standard.

Add auxiliary contact blocks to send a signal or connect to another device, such as an alarm or indicating light.

Use optional sealing gaskets in washdown environments; they create an IP65 rated seal around the actuator.

Use additional power poles to control more than three circuits. Add neutral poles to open and close the neutral leg of a three-phase system.

Add junction blocks to connect a ground wire.

Terminal covers prevent contact with live terminals.

Manual Override Enclosure Disconnect Switches

Keep power running while you access your enclosure. Unlike standard enclosure disconnect switches, which shut off power as you open your enclosure, these have an override function. Engaging the override allows you to take voltage reading, troubleshoot an error code, or fine tune the speed of your line. When the override is off, these work like a standard disconnect switch—a safety interlock prevents your enclosure from opening when power is on. The interlock also prevents the switch from turning on when the door is already open. Cut the shaft to fit your enclosure. All have a lockout so you can secure them in the off position with a padlock (not included).

Add auxiliary contact blocks to send a signal or connect to another device, such as an alarm or indicating light.

Use additional power poles to control more than three circuits. Add neutral poles to open and close the neutral leg of a three-phase system.

Add junction blocks to connect a ground wire.

DIN-Rail Mount Disconnect Switches

Often used in electrical enclosures, these switches mount directly to DIN rails. They cut power and keep it isolated to stop equipment from starting up during inspection and maintenance. For an extra level of security, add a padlock (not included) to lock out the actuator lever in the Off position.

Add auxiliary contact blocks to send a signal or connect to another device, such as an alarm or indicating light.

Use additional power poles to control additional circuits. Add neutral poles to open and close the neutral leg of a three-phase system.

Cam Panel-Mount Lever Switches

Thanks to their ability to handle higher current than switches with contact blocks, these switches are often found in applications from large motors to warehouse lighting systems. The cam pushes contacts more tightly together than contact blocks, allowing more electricity to flow through. However, they aren’t made to be rewired like switches with contact blocks are. These switches require you to grip and twist a lever to turn circuits on or off, so they won’t accidentally actuate if you bump into them. Mount them in a standard panel cutout diameter.

Choose a switch based on the complexity of your application. Changeover switches have three positions. They work well if you need to toggle between a primary power source and a backup generator. Legend plates (sold separately) give you a way to change your switch’s message.
