Why Choose the Lovato LPSS320R3131A Key Selector Switch?
The Lovato LPSS320R3131A is a robust two-position key-operated metal selector switch actuator designed for secure control of industrial machinery, electrical panels and automation systems. Part of the Lovato Platinum metal Ø22 mm series, it provides maintained 0-1 selector operation with a special 3131A key code for applications where access to machine functions needs to be restricted to authorised personnel.
The LPSS320R3131A features a black, non-illuminated key actuator with two maintained positions, 0 and 1. The key can be extracted in position 0, allowing equipment to be left securely in its off or inactive state while helping prevent unauthorised operation. Its metal construction uses aluminium and zinc alloy for durability in demanding industrial environments.
With IP66, IP67 and IP69K protection, a mechanical life of up to 1,000,000 operating cycles and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C, the LPSS320R3131A is designed for dependable service in industrial control installations. The actuator is intended for Ø22 mm panel mounting and is compatible with the Lovato LPXAU120M mounting adapter and Platinum-series contact elements.
