The Lovato GX1690O48 is a GX series rotary cam ON/OFF switch engineered for dependable isolation and control. This 1-pole, 16 A device mounts on a 35 mm DIN rail with the O48 modular service cover and a black handle, complemented by a 45 x 54 mm front plate. With IP65 frontal protection and a 6 kV impulse withstand, it suits compact panels requiring robust, repeatable switching.
Designated GX16, the square-shaped GX contact block provides a clear switching diagram 90 for 1-pole ON/OFF control. Rated Ith 16 A and Uimp 6 kV, it operates from -25 to +55 °C and stores from -40 to +70 °C. Conformity with IEC/EN/BS 60947 and UL/CSA standards supports reliable integration in industrial automation, control panels, and service equipment.
