Why choose it

This switch-disconnector offers dependable isolation with a high withstand rating and long service life. Its compact size and screw terminals simplify installation in tight spaces, while the IP20 terminal protection ensures safe operation in enclosures. The 4-pole design allows simultaneous disconnection of all phases and neutral, enhancing safety during maintenance.

Ideal use cases

• Isolation of motor circuits in industrial control panels
• Switching of resistive and inductive loads up to 16 A
• Manual disconnection in distribution boards for maintenance
• Use as a main switch in small machines or HVAC equipment

Good to know

The switch is supplied without a handle or shaft; a separate operating mechanism must be ordered to complete the installation. It is designed for base mounting and is suitable for use in ambient temperatures from -25 °C to +70 °C, making it versatile for various industrial environments.
