Designed for demanding changeover duties in control panels, the Lovato GX2069U is a GX series rotary cam changeover switch. It features switching diagram 69 (changeover without 0) across four poles, with an Ith of 20 A. The U mounting form enables front mounting with a black handle and a compact 48x48 mm front plate, ideal for space-conscious UK control panels.
Engineered for reliability, this GX20 designation switch provides IP65 frontal protection and a rated impulse withstand voltage of 6 kV. It operates from -25 to +55 °C and stores from -40 to +70 °C, supporting installations across varied environments. Conformity with IEC/EN/BS 60947 and 61058-1, plus UL60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 n° 14, supports compliant performance in industrial and commercial panels.
