Kidde - Edwards 1045W-N Industrial Surface Mount Switch

Product Description

The KIDDE - EDWARDS 1045W-N is an industrial surface mount switch designed for use in commercial and industrial control and safety systems. Surface mount switches of this type serve as manual initiating devices or control actuators, allowing operators or technicians to trigger or interrupt a circuit directly from a panel, enclosure, or wall surface. The 1045W-N is sold as an individual unit and fits within the broader category of miscellaneous contacts used in life safety, fire alarm, and industrial control applications. Licensed electricians and fire alarm system technicians are the primary installers of this device.

This switch is suited for commercial and industrial installations where a surface-mounted manual control point is required. Typical applications include fire alarm systems, industrial process control panels, and safety interlock circuits. The surface mount configuration allows for straightforward installation directly onto flat surfaces such as junction box covers, enclosure doors, or wall panels without requiring a recessed housing. This makes it a practical choice for retrofit installations or locations where flush mounting is not feasible.
