  • TypeFood Serving Equipment
  • ColorTransparent
  • Normally-off design prevents accidental motor starts

  • Rated for 1/3 HP motors in small equipment
  • Durable build withstands frequent use in demanding settings
  • Two-switch pack covers multiple machinery or tool controls

Safety switching for small motors

These momentary switches are rated for up to 1/3 horsepower and suit machinery, tools and motor controls that need safe, on-demand activation. The normally open configuration keeps the circuit off until the button is pressed, reducing the risk of accidental motor starts. They are built for reliable performance in frequent-use and demanding environments.

Thermals noise and power draw

The switches contain no active cooling or power-consuming electronics, so they produce no audible noise and add negligible heat to an enclosure. Their momentary action draws current only while the button is held, returning automatically to the off state when released. Durable contacts maintain consistent resistance through repeated cycles.

Build integration and clearance

Each switch fits into standard control panels or enclosures designed for momentary push-button operators. The two-pack provides a spare or a matched pair for dual-motor setups. No auxiliary drivers, transformers or programming are required; wiring connects directly to the motor circuit up to the rated horsepower.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the 1/3 HP momentary switch into my motor circuit?

Connect the switch in series with the motor supply so the normally open contacts close only while the button is held; the common mistake is wiring it across the supply instead of in line with the load.

What part of the 65264 switch wears out first with repeated pressing?

The internal spring and contact surfaces degrade over time, so the momentary return action or electrical continuity will eventually fail and require replacement of the switch.

At what load does the 1/3 HP rating become the limiting factor during continuous operation?

The 1/3 horsepower rating is the thermal and contact limit; sustained loads at or above that level will cause overheating or contact welding before any other component fails.
