Often used to trigger alarms, these switches have a recessed button to prevent accidental activation. Mount under desks or in other discrete locations to avoid drawing attention.

Design-Your-Own Rocker Switches
Choose from a variety of messages and colored lenses to combine a rocker with a base for a complete switch.
Bases with an on-on position designation alternate power between sets of terminals.
Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.

Control multiple devices with one switch. Turn the shaft to change switch positions. Each position closes a set of contacts per circuit, so you can select between multiple devices on one or more circuits.

Surface-Mount Motor Voltage Monitors

Protect electric motors from phase loss, phase reversal, overvoltage, undervoltage, and voltage imbalance. Also known as voltage-monitoring relays, these monitors cut power to a motor when a fault occurs.

Solid State Surface-Mount Timer Relays

Attach these relays to a flat surface using the mounting hole. They have no moving parts, so compared to mechanical switches, they require less maintenance, last longer, and are quieter.
Delayed switch-off (delay-on-break) relays activate with a switch instead of input voltage. When the switch is turned off, the relay remains on for a programmed amount of time before turning off. For example, a projector’s light is turned off with a switch, but its cooling fan continues to run for a set time.
Repeat cycle relays turn on for a duration, then off for the same duration. They alternate between the two cycles until input voltage is removed. A common example would be a flashing light.
Switch-on (single-shot) relays require a switch to activate the relay. They’ll stay on for a programmed amount of time. For example, lights in a storage room are turned on with a switch and stay on for a set time before turning off.
