Rotary switch 16A, direction of rotation changeover switch L-0-P, base rail mounting front grey knob black SK16-3.8368\BS23

Universal cam switch for circuit control

This 16A rated cam switch is a reliable solution for controlling electrical circuits, especially where reversing the direction of rotation is required. The design allows switching between L-O-P positions (left-off-right), making it ideal for use in machines and equipment requiring precise motor control. Made of durable plastic, it provides durability and resistance to mechanical damage.

Construction and application

The switch is designed for mounting on a base rail (BS23), which simplifies its installation and integration with existing electrical systems. Its solid construction, with a black knob and gray housing, guarantees comfortable and safe operation. The IP65 protection class provides resistance to dust and moisture, allowing operation in harsh industrial conditions. It can also be used in building installations where reliable circuit control is required.

Key features and benefits

• Versatility: The L-O-P rotation direction switch allows for flexible device control.
• Durability: Made of high-quality plastic, resistant to mechanical damage and external factors.
• Safety: IP65 protection class protects against dust and moisture, ensuring safe operation in various environments.
• Easy installation: Designed for mounting on a base rail (BS23), which simplifies the installation process.
• High efficiency: Rated continuous current of 16A and rated operating power of 3.5 kW at 400V AC-3 guarantee reliable operation even under heavy loads.
• Wide range of applications: Ideal for controlling electric motors, industrial equipment and in building installations.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of PN-EN60947-3 and IEC 60947-3 standards, confirming its quality and safety of use.
• Solid connections: Screw connection of the main contacts ensures secure and durable electrical connections.

Technical parameters in practice

A rated continuous current of 16A means that the switch can safely operate with loads up to this value for a long time without the risk of overheating or damage. The rated operating power for AC-3 at 400V of 3.5 kW indicates its ability to effectively control three-phase motors with this power. The lack of normally open or normally closed auxiliary contacts simplifies the design and reduces costs, while fulfilling basic control functions. Vibration resistance (2...100 Hz) and shock resistance (15 g) guarantee reliable operation in harsh industrial conditions.
