Specifications
  • Models range from 7A to 100A with voltage ratings up to 300V AC and 20V DC for non-inductive loads.
  • Construction includes ceramic and metal for resistance to arcing, burning, and charring.
  • Contacts are made of silver alloy with a self-cleaning, wiping action.
  • UL listed for models 111, 212, 312, and 412, and RoHS compliant versions are available.
Features
  • "Slow-breaking, Quick-make" action is optimal for AC current switching.
  • Non-shorting type ensures disconnection of the previous circuit before establishing the next.
  • Tandem assemblies are available as standard models.
Mounting and Installation
  • Model 711: Uses a 3/8-32 bushing for panels up to 1/8" thick.
  • Model 111: Suitable for 1/4" panels, using a 3/8-32 bushing and hex nut.
  • Model 212: Requires a 5/32" hole for the non-turn pin.
  • Model 312 and 412: Use three 10-32 flat-head machine screws for mounting.
  • Model 608: Designed for 1" panels, using three 1/4-20 flat-head screws.
