The new 6225 series switches provide protection to IPX2 whilst the 6226 includes IPX7 as standard or IPX8 on request. Both ranges mirror a choice of 24Vdc operation with gold or silver contact microswitches, high current reed switches, multiple connection and livery options - to make the competitively priced ranges suitable for optical, medical and X-ray equipment - as well as OEM applications across, industrial, office, and commercial equipment.

The smart and ergonomic all-plastic switch housings benefit from a low profile design that includes a raised tread pattern and integral anti-slip pad for maximum user comfort. The versatile foot switch is available in several standard colour variants and has base fixing options with threaded inserts or a neoprene anti-slip pad for free use.

The comprehensive selection of switching options includes single and double pole versions with normally open or changeover functionality as well as reed switch and USB pre-programmed key stroke versions. A choice of 3- and 4-core cables is available or customers can select standard non-cabled variants.

The 6225 and 6226 series is designed for easy customisation to adapt to the exact requirements of the user. Customer specified cable types and lengths, connectors, customer logos and labels, guards and special bases - in single or multiple foot switch assemblies - are all available on short delivery times and at competitive cost.
