In any critical application, safety isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation. When a moment of crisis occurs, the ability to instantly and reliably halt operations is paramount. Our 16mm Plastic Emergency Stop Switch with a mushroom head is engineered for this exact purpose, offering a robust and cost-effective safety solution for a wide range of modern equipment.
Designed for Instant, Unmistakable Action
The core of any emergency stop is its usability under pressure. This switch is designed with that critical principle in mind.
Mushroom Head Design: The large, prominent red button is universally recognized and can be activated quickly and intuitively, even in high-stress situations. Its shape allows for a palm-hit activation, ensuring immediate response.
Maintained (Latching) Action: Once pressed, the switch remains in the “stop” position until it is manually reset by twisting or pulling. This prevents the machine from restarting automatically, ensuring the hazard is fully cleared before operation resumes.
Built to Endure Demanding Environments
Constructed from high-strength engineering plastic, this switch offers excellent durability while being resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and impact. Its IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating means it is completely protected against temporary immersion and dust ingress. This makes it perfectly suited for challenging environments, including:
Marine Applications: Resists corrosion from saltwater spray and humidity on boat control panels or docking equipment.
Medical Equipment: Provides a reliable, easy-to-clean safety mechanism for patient-facing and laboratory devices.
New Energy Systems: An ideal safety component for charging stations, battery packs, and solar power inverters, both indoors and outdoors.
Access Control & Automation: Ensures safety in automated gates, conveyor systems, and other machinery where quick operator intervention is needed.
Technical Reliability at a Glance
Contact Configuration: The 1NO1NC (One Normally Open, One Normally Closed) contact setup offers wiring flexibility for diverse safety circuits, allowing for both fail-safe and control signal applications.
Compact Size: The 16mm mounting diameter makes it an ideal solution for control panels where space is limited but safety cannot be compromised.
Robust Construction: The combination of a durable plastic body and reliable internal mechanics ensures a long service life.
Conclusion: Safety That Never Takes a Break
Choosing the right emergency stop component is a critical decision that directly impacts operational safety. Our 16mm Plastic Emergency Stop Switch delivers the perfect balance of immediate functionality, environmental resilience, and technical reliability. It’s the guardian your equipment needs, ensuring that when every second counts, your stop signal is unmistakable and absolute.
