600H and 600NH series
Toggle switches - high amperage
Distinctive features and specifications
❑
Construction
Terminal and contact support are manufactured from a single piece of metal. The
contacts are resistance-welded to the terminal for increased mechanical strength.
❑
Rating
A
These switches are suitable for motor loads and power applications up to
15A 250VAC or 10A 400VAC
❑
Metal or insulated lever
❑
UL, CSA and NF-VDE (EN 61058-1) approved
