Switch Specifications


	Pedals
	Your choices are...
	One		Foot switch is of one pedal construction.
	Two		Foot switch is of two pedal construction.
	Three		Foot switch is of three pedal construction.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary pedal configuration.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Switch / Actuation Method
	Your choices are...
	Snap Action		Switch has integral snap action switch. The action speed of the switch contact is independent of the actuator speed.
	Slow Action		For double throw contacts, where the moving contact interrupts one contact before establishing the other.
	Air Switch		Uses a foot actuated air bulb for actuation to a remote switch.
	Potentiometer		Switch contains an integral potentiometer.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary switch actuation method.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Function
	Your choices are...
	Maintained Contact		The switch stays open or closed after actuation until the next actuation. The switch stays in its actuated position, even after the removal of the operating force.
	Momentary Contact		The switch is open or closed only during actuation. After actuation force is removed, the switch reverts to its normal position.
	Single Stage		Foot switch has only one contact.
	Two Stage		Foot switch has two momentary type contacts. As the pedal is depressed, the contacts are sequentially activated.
	Three Stage		Foot switch has three momentary type contacts. As the pedal is depressed, the contacts are sequentially activated.
	Mechanical Interlock		For foot switches with more than two circuit. The mechanical interlock prevents both circuits from being operated at the same time.
	Variable		Changing the depression of the pedal changes the output voltage. Used for variable speed control of an AC or DC motor.
	Other		Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary function.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

Electrical Switch Specifications


	Pole and Throw Specifications
	Your choices are...
	Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST)		A switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has two terminals. It is commonly referred to as a "Single-Pole" Switch.
	Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT)		A switch that makes or breaks the connection of a single conductor with either of two other single conductors. This switch typically has 3 terminals, and is commonly used in pairs and called a "Three-Way" switch.
	Double Pole, Single Throw (DPST)		A switch that makes or breaks the connection of two circuit conductors in a single branch circuit. This switch typically has four terminals.
	Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT)		A switch that makes or breaks the connection of two conductors to two separate circuits. This switch typically has six terminals and is available in both momentary and maintained contact versions.
	Other		Special throw types with more than 2 poles, such as switches designed to split loads into separate circuits.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Configuration
	Your choices are...
	Normally Open (NO)		A term used to describe contacts that interrupt the circuit when in their normal position.
	Normally Closed (NC)		A term used to describe contacts that establish a circuit when in their normal position.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Contact Style
	Your choices are...
	Single Break		A single break switch opens one contact with each pole of the switch.
	Double Break		A single break switch opens two contacts with each pole of the switch.
	Shorting		"Make before break" style.
	Non-Shorting		"Break before make" style.
	Search Logic:		All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.

	Maximum Current		The maximum nominal, or nameplate current capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Maximum AC Voltage		The maximum AC voltage capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.

	Maximum DC Voltage		The maximum DC voltage capacity of a device.
	Search Logic:		User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
