Trigger Switch

The trigger switch features a high current rating (up to 10 amps) with 50,000 electrical and mechanical cycles. Choose single or two-position circuits with various forces. Positive detent action confirms actuation for safer operation, and the button is available in red or black.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Select series use Guardian’s patented Triplex circuitry—three redundant switching circuits—with simplex/duplex options for critical or fail-safe applications.

Depends on series: up to 1.8 million cycles (thumbwheel), 1,000,000 cycles (pushbutton Triplex), and 50,000 cycles on several trigger/rocker variants.

Yes. Models include moisture-proof/dust-tight rockers and moisture-resistant/dust-tight MS-qualified 4-way switches for rugged environments.

Multiple power ratings across families; circuit options include SPST/SPDT (slide) and SPDT/DPDT (rocker). High-current options include trigger switches up to 10 A.

Yes. Several series support grip or panel integration, including multi-function display use (e.g., linear transducer; 5-way mini).
