Switches Unlimited specializes in state of the art control design, factory automation and replacement components. They represent and supply industrial controls that can perform in adverse conditions and or in emergency situations. Two new products that meet these criteria are EAO's Emergency Stop Switches & Dual Lighted Pushbuttons. Both meet IP65 standards and current Osha safety requirements.

EAO's Emergency Stop Switches can be quickly identified in a panic situation. Once activated, they will remain activated until it is safe to switch the system back on. They have been designed in accordance with EN 60947-5-1 and feature a foolproof actuation method that meets EN418 standards. This mechanism prevents the switch contacts from being operated without fully actuating the mushroom head. EAO's E-stops have a panel-mounted design and come with large pushbuttons, which means easy operation, even when wearing gloves. They are available in both twist-to-release and key-to-release options.

EAO's Dual Lighted Pushbuttons also meet IP65 standards they are rated NEMA 4 & 13, UL, CSA and have other numerous international ratings. Designed for ON and OFF industrial control equipment applications, a lighted indicator separates the dual green and red pushbuttons. These switches mount in one round hole providing dynamic cost and space saving advantages. EAO's Emergency Stop Switches & Dual Lighted Pushbuttons are ideal for industrial applications: machine control, process control equipment and conveyer systems.
