Heavy Duty Foot Switch (GX Series) – Without Guard or Shield

*Notes on Foot Switch Action:

• Momentary Action: Press and hold to turn on, release to turn off (like a car horn).
• Maintained Action: Press down on pedal to turn it on; the unit will stay on until the user presses forward a latch inside the hood to release it back to the “off” position (like a light switch).
• Anti-Trip Action: The user must press forward a safety latch inside the hood before pressing down on the pedal to turn it on. These units then have a momentary action; the user must keep the pedal pressed down in order to keep it on.

Also, two-stage models (models that end in “-2S”) have an additional force added in between the activation of each switch, allowing the user to distinguish between the first and second switches as the pedal is pressed down. n/a Double-Break Switches : Includes double-break switches instead of the standard SPDT switches. Double break contacts open and close at two separate places in the circuit. Because they make contact at two points, instead of just one, DB contacts dissipate heat more readily, providing longer switch life, enabling the switch to have improved performance in DC circuits, and typically handle higher voltages. A double break switch must be used on circuits of the same polarity. Also called “Form Z” contacts. Note: Cannot be used on GX504 models. Rated 15A @ 125/250 VAC, 1A @ 125 VDC, 0.5A @ 250 VDC. Order as G500-MO-DB, etc. Add “-DB” to the end of the model number to order. -DB adds $16.00 per switch to model price Info Sheet
