Quick Reference: Match the Part to the Panel

🔎 1. Start With Function

Do not start with size first. Choose whether the part needs to switch, stop, indicate, detect, sound, or terminate wiring.

⚡ 2. Confirm Voltage

Match relay coils, LED indicators, illuminated push buttons, alarms, and buzzers to the control voltage already used in the panel.

📏 3. Check Mounting

Verify panel hole size for switches and indicators before replacing an existing device.

🛡️ 4. Match the Environment

Use safety lock, IP-rated, or heavy-duty styles where parts are exposed to washdown, operators, foot traffic, or machine impact.

Kacon Panel Build Checklist

Use this checklist before finalizing a control panel order.

✅ Match control voltage: 12V DC, 24V DC, 110V AC, or 220V AC where applicable.
✅ Confirm contact layout: SPST, SPDT, DPST, DPDT, 3PDT, 1NO/1NC, or 2NO/2NC.
✅ Verify mounting when applicable: DIN rail, panel mount, plug-in socket, or panel cutout.
✅ Select visibility: illuminated button, pilot lamp, LED buzzer, or non-illuminated control.
✅ Choose operator action: momentary, maintained, twist release, keyed, safety reset, or foot actuation.
✅ Keep wiring serviceable with terminal blocks sized for current, voltage, and pole count.
