Feature Summary

• Sloped front design for ergonomic control surface integration
• Steel construction with continuous welding and smooth grinding
• Captive cover screws secured within sealed wells

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific application requires the Type 12 rating and sloped front geometry. Confirm compatibility with the intended switch diameter (22.5 mm or 30.5 mm). Ensure mounting hardware aligns with the captive screw design. Check for any site-specific grounding requirements relative to the provided grounding stud.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a non-flat control surface is required for operator accessibility. The steel material provides durability suitable for industrial settings. The Type 12 rating offers protection against dust, dripping non-corrosive liquids, and oil seepage. Consider the external dimensions for panel cutout planning.
