Cam switch 40A, -4.824 in OB13 enclosure with yellow/red lockable front SK40-4.824\OB13ZC

Cam switch – reliable circuit control

This 40A rated cam switch is a robust solution for switching electrical circuits. Equipped with an OB13 housing with a lockable front in yellow and red colors, it provides not only safety but also easy identification of the switching status. It is a complete device, ready for mounting and use.

Design and application

The switch is designed to operate in demanding industrial conditions. Its plastic housing guarantees mechanical strength and resistance to external factors. IP65 protection on the front side provides protection against dust and water jets, making it ideal for indoor and outdoor applications. The cam mechanism allows for precise and reliable circuit switching, and the ability to select the "0" position increases the functionality of the device.

Advantages for the installer and user

• Durability and reliability: High-quality materials and a solid construction ensure long-term operation of the device even in difficult conditions.
• Safety: IP65 protection protects against moisture and dust, minimizing the risk of failure and electric shock.
• Easy installation: The complete device in the OB13 housing simplifies and speeds up installation.
• Versatility: Suitable for various applications, from simple lighting circuits to more complex machine control systems.
• Adapted to work with various loads: The rated operating power for AC-3 is 12 kW, allowing control of motors up to 12 kW (at 400V).
• Safe switching: The conventional rated short-circuit current of 10 kA provides effective protection against the effects of short circuits.
• Flexible wire connection: Possibility to connect wires with a cross-section of 4…10 mm² using a screw connection.

User parameters

The switch has 8 poles, allowing control of multiple circuits simultaneously. The lack of normally open and normally closed auxiliary contacts simplifies the design and reduces costs. The knob as an actuator provides convenient operation of the device. The rated continuous current Iu is 40A, which is sufficient for most industrial and commercial applications. The device is not intended for installation in distribution boards or for indirect mounting.
