Changeover switch 16A, direction of rotation change switch L-0-P, front panel mounting, closed black ŁK16R-3.8368\P07

Cam switches for panel mounting – reliability and functionality

This cam switch, designed for panel mounting, is a solid solution for controlling electrical circuits. Model ŁK16R-3.8368\P07, manufactured by SPAMEL, offers reliable switching and is ideal for applications requiring frequent changes in direction of rotation. Designed for currents up to 16A, it is perfect for controlling motors and other electrical devices.

Construction and user parameters

The switch is characterized by a plastic construction, which provides good insulation and resistance to mechanical damage. The IP65 protection rating guarantees protection against dust and water jets, making it suitable for use in harsh environmental conditions. The switch has three poles and allows for changing the direction of rotation (L-0-P), which is particularly useful in industrial and workshop applications. Front mounting, additionally secured, protects against unauthorized access.

The rated operating power AC-3 is 8 kW at 400V, which demonstrates its efficiency in typical industrial applications. The continuous rated current Iu is 16A, and the conventional short-circuit current is 13 kA – these parameters ensure safety and reliability in the event of overloads or short circuits. Screw connection of the main contacts facilitates installation and ensures a secure connection of wires with a cross-section from 1.5 mm² to 4 mm². Additionally, the possibility of indirect mounting increases installation flexibility.

Application and benefits

This cam switch finds wide application in:

• Control of electric motors: Changing the direction of rotation is crucial in many industrial applications.
• Machines and equipment: Ideal for controlling various types of devices requiring a change in working direction.
• Operator panels: Panel mounting provides convenient operation and an aesthetic look of the workstation.
• Applications requiring high reliability: Solid construction and high quality workmanship guarantee long-term operation even in harsh conditions.

It is worth noting its resistance to vibrations and mechanical shocks – these features are particularly important in industrial environments. The availability of technical documentation (data sheet, operating instructions) facilitates correct installation and operation of the device.
