General characteristics Designed specially for industrial requirements The particular needs of OEMs are typically conditioned by the installation environment and often involve the use of a large number of contacts. It is also common to require specific versions with dedicated fixing parts, wiring connections or special devices. Product design on A5/L5 series includes a number of intrinsic features that ensure maximum product reliability in industrial applications. The shaft made of galvanized steel with high resistance to bending and torsion ensures optimal contacts opening and closing....

Protection degree IP20 Terminals protected against solid objects up to 12,5mm according to IEC 60529. Advanced electromechanics High electrical endurance (3 times above standard requirements). Marking Product marked with permanent ink indicating reference and electrical characteristics. Insert bolts Bolts inserted on the breaking mechanism making simple switch mounting, saving time and avoiding loose components. Clamp-yoke connection Contact surfaces grooved for optimal grip and conductivity. Internal and external links Simple "click" front plate fixing Factory assembled links. Insulated...

Dedicated components and designs Connection system Clamping yoke connection known as the best on the market. • Secure connection stable on temperature changes and vibrations. • Captive screw. • Surface treatment for minimum contact resistance. Double breaking mechanisms A high number of contacts or an improvement on electrical characteristics can be achieved by increasing the force on the breaking mechanism. The solution is a system with several breaking mechanisms (double or triple). The double mechanism system can also be used to design released switches so that the speed and force are...

low voltage electrical manufacturer Introduction Contact elements Contacts on the standard product range are based on silver alloys that are characterised by high arc and welding resistance while maintaining stability at high temperatures and providing remarkable erosion endurance. R Plastic materials The switch body is made of polyester reinforced with fibreglass featuring high electrical characteristics. The material is UL certified and provides excellent insulating properties (CTI index) and arc resistance (HAI index). Safety in case of emergency is guaranteed by its...

Suitable for harsh environments Gave is able to provide product solutions for applications in harsh environments such as highly corrosive atmospheres, fire resistance, electromagnetic pollution, ... The requirements of these applications involve the use of adapted components including the use of special materials. Contact elements Control and signalling in harsh environment sometimes requires some specific contact elements, specially under low current and/or low voltage application. Gold flashed contacts are available. The below selection table is used to establish when gold plated contact...

Dimensions for lateral connection Cabinets with confined spaces pose a challenge especially when the device should be installed near the cabinet walls, using the L series and its special shape we find a solution to this problem. L series shape offers a blind face and all screwing operations are made from the same side. It is also very useful on devices with a large number of contacts as it facilitates control and maintenance operations.
