Class I Division 2 switch manufacturer

[megloff11x]

I have a manufacturer of C1D2 switches, buttons, and knobs that I will not name, that couldn't deliver an order on time if you sent Luca Brasi, Genco Abandando, and Don Corleone over to make an offer that can't be refused.

I'm sitting here about 6 weeks late (from promised delivery date) and counting on an order placed almost three months ago. I would like to find a better source but Google hasn't helped me here, which is probably why these people are so chronically late. No competition - we don't care.

This is not the first time. In the past the projects had other delays and it didn't result in schedule slip blame falling on me. I increased my order lead time each time and they just got worse.

Can anyone refer me to a manufacturer of listed hazloc switches, buttons, and knobs? I'm looking for Start & Stop and such for machines.

Thanks.

Matt

AB has PB lines listed for C1D2. Just use the sealed contact blocks.

I have used them many times and no issues with delivery.

I suspect all the major manufacturer's have general purpose PBs that are listed for C1D2 if using the sealed blocks.
