Why Choose the GX1691U11?

Designed for reliable isolation and control, the Lovato GX1691U11 is a GX series rotary cam ON/OFF switch with 2 poles and a 16A Ith rating. It features U11 front mounting with a black handle, suited to Ø22mm panel fixing without a front plate. The square-shaped contact block ensures robust performance, while IP65 frontal protection and a 6 kV impulse withstand voltage support dependable switching in demanding industrial environments.

Compliant with IEC/EN/BS 60947 and 61058-1 standards, plus UL60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 n° 14 references, this GX16-designated switch delivers consistent operation across -25 to +55 °C, with storage down to -40 °C and up to +70 °C. The 91 switching diagram provides straightforward ON/OFF control across two poles, ideal for clear circuit isolation. Its compact Ø22mm form factor streamlines panel integration, helping installers specify a proven solution for machinery control and general-purpose switching tasks.
