Light-Duty Foot Switches (S100 and S400)
The S-Series foot switches feature a low-profile steel case, non-slip traction pads, and high performance at low cost. These foot pedals make it easy to turn electrical equipment on and off with the foot, freeing the hands to perform other operations or providing ergonomic improvement to a workstation. Available in momentary (press and hold to turn on, release to turn off, like a car horn) and maintained (press once to turn on, press again to turn off, like a light switch) versions.
These foot switches are ideal for home, shop, agricultural, office, USB, router control, meat processing or meat grinders, dental, medical, photography or dark room, and many other applications. For example, the S100-1501 is a great Dremel® foot switch, allowing you to set the speed where you want it and then simply turn it on and off with your foot; it's also a great meat grinder foot switch. The S420-1501 and F300-1501 foot switches make it easy to turn on and off lighting and appliances with a simple tap of the foot, without having to bend over to plug in or remove the plug when not in use.
Please read the foot switch safety warning before purchasing any foot switch. You can view the foot switch cross-reference guide here.
