About Eaton Corporation, Maker of Cutler Hammer Switches

One of the best known brands of switches is Cutler Hammer. Cutler Hammer switches are manufactured by Eaton Corporation, a global leader in electrical systems and components.

The company actually started out in 1911 to manufacture a patented vehicle axle, but with later mergers and acquisitions, went into other product lines. Today the company has major manufacturing divisions in electrical, automotive and truck, and fluid power for aerospace.

Top Quality Cutler Hammer Switches

Within this product line, there are many different types of Cutler Hammer switches.

The most basic type is the circular push button switch, which comes in either illuminated or non-illuminated forms, as well as in several colors. Switch boxes have both green and red buttons for start and stop functions. In illuminated types, a light comes on when you push the button.

Some varieties of Cutler Hammer switches may have multiple functions, depending upon what position they are. For instance, ignition switches in cars have several positions. The first position will turn on only the car radio or stereo, the second position turns on wipers and accessories, while the third position will turn on the car engine.

Aside from the switches, Cutler Hammer also produces indicator lights which can tell you exactly what stage the machine is operating. Indicator lights come in red, green or amber.

Cutler Hammer panels provide the enclosure for the switches to protect the switches and device from dirt or moisture. They come with either one, two or three button holes depending on where the assembly will be used.
