ASI says that design and mounting features make the switches among the easiest in the industry to install in a panel. Reduced number of components and the ability to add up to six auxiliary contacts, which can be easily wired after assembly, are key features of this product offering, ASI says.
More than 300 configurations and styles are available, including plastic or metal, multiple colors, illuminated or non-illuminated, flush, extended, and guarded. The switches meet NEMA 4, 4X, and IP65 ratings.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
