Schneider Electric Foot Switch Contact Block for Foot Switch

A wide range of metal housed footswitches brought to you from Schneider Electric, ensuring you start on the right foot! They are available with or without a protective guard cover. The guarded cover types are strongly recommended in high-risk areas where accidental starting of a machine, either by human action or falling objects could occur.
