Part Number: 1SCA162522R1001
Quick Summary
ABB 1SCA162522R1001 Switch Disconnector provides safe isolation for 3-pole power control in panel applications. Engineers often struggle to find a padlockable, front-operated device that fits a standard 45 mm DIN cut-out and supports external operation. It aligns with IEC 60947-3 and carries CE and UL declarations, plus IP20 front protection and RoHS compliance. This combination delivers reliable DIN-rail mounting, robust screw terminals, and a compact footprint that reduces panel space and installation time—improving safety, compliance, and total cost of ownership in industrial control panels.
