Why Choose the Lovato LPSS380R458A Key Selector Switch?
The Lovato LPSS380R458A is a robust three-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 a 1 > 0 - 2 operating arrangement with a special 458A key code for applications where access to machine functions or operating modes needs to be restricted.
The LPSS380R458A features a black, non-illuminated key actuator with three positions: 1, 0 and 2. Position 1 is momentary and returns automatically to the central 0 position, while position 2 is maintained. The key can be extracted in position 2, allowing the maintained operating state to be secured against unauthorised adjustment.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the LPSS380R458A provides IP67 and IP69K front protection, NEMA Type 4X front protection and an operating arrangement with return to the zero position. The actuator is designed for standard Ø22 mm panel mounting and can be combined with Lovato Platinum-series mounting adapters and contact elements to create the required control configuration.
Key Advantages
- Secure three-position key-operated selector for industrial machinery and control panels.
- 1 > 0 - 2 operating arrangement combines momentary and maintained selector functions.

Secure Momentary and Maintained Key Control
Key-operated selector switches are used where machine commands, operating modes or control functions need to be restricted to authorised personnel. The Lovato LPSS380R458A combines two operating behaviours within one three-position actuator: position 1 provides a momentary command with automatic return to 0, while position 2 remains selected after operation.
The 458A key code provides a defined key configuration, while key extraction in position 2 allows the maintained operating state to be secured against unauthorised changes. This combination makes the LPSS380R458A particularly suitable for industrial machinery and operator interfaces requiring both controlled momentary commands and a lockable maintained selection.
Typical Applications
- Industrial machine control panels.
- Restricted-access machine controls.
- Momentary and maintained control functions.
- Machine enable and operating-mode selection.
- Automation and process control systems.
- Manufacturing and production equipment.
- Control desks and operator stations.
- Electrical switchboards and control cabinets.
