Legend Plates for Switches, Push Buttons & Signaling Devices
Legend plates are essential components for clearly identifying push buttons, switches, indicator lights, and other signaling devices on electrical panels and equipment. In industrial and commercial environments, proper labeling supports safe operation, efficient troubleshooting, and regulatory compliance by allowing operators to immediately understand the function of each control. RSP Supply offers a full range of legend plates designed for long-term clarity and durability.
Legend plates are available in multiple materials to suit different operating conditions, with stainless steel being a common choice for demanding environments. Stainless steel legend plates offer excellent resistance to wear, scratching, chemicals, and moisture, helping engraved text and symbols remain legible over time. High-contrast engraving processes ensure visibility even in low-light or harsh conditions, making these plates well suited for manufacturing, marine, food processing, and heavy industrial applications.
Custom legend plates can be manufactured to match a wide variety of electrical systems and control consoles. Options such as 22mm and 30mm legend plates allow compatibility with standard push buttons and signaling devices, ensuring proper fit and alignment. Whether used on motor control centers, operator panels, or electrical enclosures, engraved legend plates provide reliable identification without compromising enclosure integrity when installed correctly.
