Cam switch 16A, Three-phase reversing starter switch, in OB12 housing. SK16-5.8538\OB12

Universal cam switch for demanding applications

This three-phase cam switch with a rated current of 16A is a reliable solution for controlling electrical circuits. It finds application in both industrial installations and more demanding home applications where a robust and safe change of motor rotation direction or switching on/off of a load is required. Made of high-quality plastic and housed in a durable OB12 enclosure, it provides protection against external factors and long-term reliability.

Design and functionality

The switch is characterized by a simple but well-thought-out design. The knob made of durable material allows for convenient and precise switching of circuits. The use of screw connections ensures a secure and stable connection of the wires. The OB12 housing, with an IP65 degree of protection, guarantees resistance to dust and moisture, making it an ideal choice for environments with increased humidity or exposure to contaminants. Additionally, the presence of the "0" position allows for safe disconnection of the circuit.

Parameters and applications

This model is a three-phase reversing starter switch – ideal for controlling electric motors. The rated operating power for AC-3 is 3.5 kW at 400V, allowing it to handle a wide range of devices. The continuous rated current Iu is 16A, and the mechanical endurance reaches up to 3 million switching cycles – a guarantee of long life even with intensive use. The possibility of panel mounting (no intermediate mounting required) facilitates integration with existing installations. A wide range of operating temperatures (-40°C to +70°C) allows it to be used in harsh environmental conditions.
