The Lovato GX4010U is a rotary cam ON/OFF switch for reliable 3‑pole, 40 A switching in industrial panels. From the GX series square-shaped contact block range, it provides U front mounting with a black handle and a 65 x 65 mm front plate. With IP65 frontal protection and GX40 designation, it fits compact layouts while ensuring clear, positive actuation for operators.
Engineered to perform across -25 to +55 °C, the GX4010U withstands a rated impulse voltage of 6 kV and offers IP65 frontal sealing for dusty or damp locations. It complies with IEC/EN/BS 60947-1, 60947-3, 60947-5-1 and 61058-1, plus UL60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 n° 14, supporting robust, standardised ON/OFF duties in machinery, pumps, fans and control circuits.
