*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.
Information regarding G503 Three Switch Models: Includes three switches (each SPDT) inside each unit.  G503 models are UL marked but not CSA certified. Information regarding G504 Four Circuit Models: Ideal for controlling up to four independent circuits, or for switching the circuits operating on different voltages.  Each foot switch contains two DPDT switches (with two circuits per switch).  Note: There is no Double-Break (Form Z) substitute available for the G504.  G504 models are UL marked but not CSA certified.

G-Series Foot Switch Front Gate Option (-GT) Front Gate: The front gate provides an additional measure of safety.  The user must first lift the gate before operating the foot switch.  Note: This option cannot be used with the -G2 Oversized Guard (shown below).  This option also cannot be purchased alone or as a retrofit.  Add "-GT" to the end of any model number to order. -GT $20.00 Info Sheet
Cable Clamp for G-Series Foot Switch Cable Clamp (C1): Fits .25" to .38" OD cable. For 3/4"-14 NPT port. Add "-C1" to end of any model number to order. -C1 $11.00 Info Sheet
Cable Clamp for G-Series Foot Switch Cable Clamp (C2): Fits .38" to .50" OD cable. For 3/4"-14 NPT port. Add "-C2" to end of any model number to order. -C2 $11.00 Info Sheet
Cable Clamp for G-Series Foot Switch Cable Clamp (C3): Fits .50" to .62" OD cable. For 3/4"-14 NPT port. Add "-C3" to end of any model number to order. -C3 $11.00 Info Sheet
-G2 Arctic Boot Cover Foot Switch Guard Option Oversized Guard: Adds an 8" x 8" oversized guard instead of the standard aluminum guard. Crafted of 3/16" aluminum, this guard will not corrode, resists breakage, and fits metatarsal boot covers and large padded boots.  Note: This option is not UL marked.  Replaces JLG 1001117294.  To order with a foot switch, add the "-G2" option on the foot switch product page.  To order alone, click on the "-G2" link to the right. -G2 $130.00 Info Sheet Dimension Print
-HA Handle Option (G-Series Foot Switches) Handle (single units only): Makes it easy to pick up and move around the unit.  Can be added to any G or GX series foot switch (does not fit on G700).  Note: This option is not UL marked.  To order this option along with a foot switch, select this option when ordering the foot switch (“Handle Option -HA”).  To order alone (with no foot switch), click on the link to the right. -HA $45 (when ordered alone) Info Sheet
-CB Carrier Base Option (SSC Controls Foot Switches and Foot Control Pedals) Carrier Base Option (for G-Series Foot Switches): Makes it easy to move around the unit, provides additional height above floor mats, and allows cable routing out the back or sides.  Includes the base, handle with ball knob, and rubber bumper feet.  To order this option along with a foot switch, select this option when ordering the foot switch.   Note: This option when ordered alone does not contain the foot switch or cable.  This option is not UL marked. -CB $70.00 (when ordered alone) Info Sheet
DG500 Dual Foot Switch SSC Controls Dual Pedal (Front View) Dual-Pedal Foot Switches: Combines two foot switches on one platform with heavy-duty dual base with rubber bumper feet and a handle for easy movement. DG500-Series misc. n/a
Micro Switch with Pin Plunger (SSC Controls 11416) Electrical 534-SS Contact Block, Replaces Honeywell BA-2R62-A4, BA-2R-A2, 534-SS, Omron A-20G-B7-K Electrical Switch (replacement contact block): 20 Amp @ 125/250 VAC, SPDT, pin plunger, #6 screw terminals.  Replacement for G-Series G500 models (SPDT models), as well as each switch for G502 models (2 required) and G503 (3 required).  Click on the link to the right to purchase this item. 11416 $14.80 n/a
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.  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.  Note: Cannot be used on G504 models. -DB add  $24.00 per switch Info Sheet
n/a Gold Alloy Contacts: Available for controlling or improving performance on low-energy or low-power circuits.  Also provides improved corrosion resistance of the contacts.  Electrical rating: 1 amp @ 125 VAC.  UL electrical code L22.  Call to order. -GP add $20.00 per switch n/a
