Cam switch 16A, 1-0-2 switch (2-pole), front mounting panel closure black ŁK16R-2.8338\P07

Panel mounting cam switch – reliability and functionality

This two-pole cam switch, catalog number ŁK16R-2.8338\P07, is a robust solution for safe and convenient switching of electrical circuits. Designed for both professional and end-user applications, it provides reliable operation in various conditions. The design allows for mounting on the control panel, making it easy to integrate with existing installations.

Construction and application

A cam switch is a device used to manually switch electrical circuits. This model, with position 0, allows for full control over the power supply. It finds application in controlling electrical devices, machines and production lines. Made of durable plastic, it is resistant to mechanical damage and ensures long-term operation. Thanks to the IP65 protection class, it is resistant to dust and water ingress, making it an ideal choice for industrial environments and those exposed to harsh weather conditions.

Key features and benefits

• Durability and safety: The housing made of high-quality plastic provides protection against mechanical damage and external factors.
• Versatility: Possibility of indirect mounting and on a plate expands the range of applications of the switch.
• High resistance: IP65 protection class guarantees tightness against dust and water, which increases safety of use in difficult conditions.
• Adapted to loads: Rated continuous current of 16A and rated operating power of 8 kW (for AC-3, 400 V) allow for servicing demanding devices.
• Precise switching: Cam mechanism ensures smooth and precise switching of circuits.
• Safety of use: The use of screw connections ensures secure and durable connection of wires.
• Wide temperature range: Operation in the range of -40°C to +70°C allows for use in various environmental conditions.

Technical parameters in practice

A rated continuous current of 16A means that the switch can safely handle devices drawing such current for a long time without the risk of overheating or damage. The rated operating power of 8 kW at 400V (AC-3) indicates its ability to efficiently switch loads with significant power – typical for electric motors or industrial heaters. C characteristic allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, therefore it tolerates starting devices with a motor well. IP65 protection class is a guarantee of resistance to dust and a water jet – an ideal solution where difficult working conditions prevail.
