Application matrix

Application challenge	Likely product family	Critical questions
Compact position or state detection	Micro switch or reed switch	Force, travel, magnet, load, environment
Machine end-position detection	Limit switch	Actuator, enclosure, travel, impact
Guard-door monitoring	Safety interlock switch	Risk, contact channels, locking, validation
Hands-free operator command	Foot switch	Pedal, guard, mode, cable, cleaning
Panel-mounted manual selection	Toggle switch	Pole/throw, rating, terminal, protection
Frequent silent power switching	Solid state relay	Load, surge, switching method, heat
