Cam switch 16A, -2.8380 desk/panel mounting front grey black knob SK16-2.8380\P23

Cam switches – reliable control of electrical circuits

This SK16 cam switch, designed for panel mounting, is a robust solution for frequent switching of circuits. The construction with a gray housing and black knob provides convenient operation and clear identification. The device is particularly useful in applications requiring manual control, such as machines and industrial equipment, but will also work in building installations.

Construction and application

The SK16-2.8380 switch is an element used to disconnect and connect electrical circuits. Its cam-based design ensures reliable and dependable operation, even with frequent switching operations. Panel (front) mounting is quick and easy thanks to the standard 31/□36 mm mounting hole. This model is adapted to work in harsh environmental conditions, confirmed by the IP65 protection class with respect to the panel – which means protection against water jets and dust. This is crucial in industrial environments where exposure to moisture and contaminants is high.

Parameters and user features

The device is characterized by a continuous rated current of 16A, allowing safe control of most standard loads. The conventional short-circuit current rating is 10kA, providing protection against the effects of short circuits. The possibility of connecting cables with a cross-section of 1…4 mm² provides flexibility in choosing the appropriate cables. It is worth noting the high mechanical durability – the switch withstands as many as 3 million switching cycles, guaranteeing a long service life even with intensive use. A wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) allows its use in various climatic conditions. In addition, it meets standards for resistance to vibration and mechanical shock, which increases its reliability in demanding industrial applications.
