People Electric · Foot Switch
Product overview
People Electric EKW foot switches provide pedal-operated switching in machine and control circuits. Select the exact ordered suffix and contact arrangement for the control circuit. Conventional thermal current and control-circuit making/breaking duty are separate ratings and must be checked for the actual load.

This is a series enquiry page, not a guarantee that every suffix has the same contact arrangement. Confirm the exact EKW model, operating action, contact circuit, control voltage/load and cable details before order. Do not use the 5A thermal rating as the AC380V inductive breaking-current rating.
Typical applications
- Foot-operated control inputs on industrial machinery.
- Control circuits requiring frequent pedal actuation with a suitable rated load.
