FAQs
The device is designed as a flush-mounted, 1-gang, 2-pole rocker switch with Plug Clamp wiring. This enables quick, secure connections and straightforward panel installation. The compact 81 mm square footprint fits tightly into standard enclosures, while the 17 mm built-in depth keeps front panels neat. This combination reduces installation time and minimizes space intrusion in instrument panels.
This switch is rated for 250 V and 10 A, with a maximum switching current specified for fluorescent lamps at 10 A. The 2-pole configuration supports reliable control of two conductors in a single-gang footprint. The glow lamp provides optional illumination to indicate ON state, improving visibility in dim environments without exceeding the rated current.
Yes. Its 2-pole, 1-gang rocker design, small form factor, and plug-clamp wiring make it ideal for machine control panels and automation interfaces. The IP20 rating offers indoor protection, while the illuminated indicator aids operator awareness. The compact footprint helps conserve panel space in tight installations common in manufacturing lines.
The switch complies with CE as indicated by the Declaration of Conformity, and meets RoHS and REACH requirements with related declarations. It is also categorized under WEEE for proper end-of-life handling. These certifications support regulatory compliance in many industrial markets and contribute to environmental responsibility in product design.
The plug-clamp wiring simplifies field wiring, reducing commissioning time and potential wiring errors. Its lightweight, compact form factor lowers installation effort and panel modification costs. CE/RoHS/REACH/WEEE compliance reduces regulatory risk, while the robust rocker mechanism and glow lamp provide durable operation with minimal maintenance in typical panel applications.
