7GN1256U - 3P 2POS SWITCH GN1256U 48X48 FRONT MOUNT

Why Choose the 7GN1256U?

Lovato’s 7GN1256U changeover switch delivers dependable 3‑pole switching in a compact, panel‑friendly format. Part of the 7GN series with a round‑shaped contact block, this model follows switching diagram 56 (changeover without 0) and is rated Ith 16 A. Designed for U front mounting, it includes a black handle and a 48X48mm front plate to simplify installation and save space in control and automation panels.

Engineered for robustness, the 7GN1256U offers 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and IP40 frontal protection, operating reliably from -25 to +55 °C. It aligns with IEC/EN/BS 60947 and North American standards, supporting consistent performance and specification compliance. Ideal for source selection and circuit transfer, this rotary cam changeover switch enhances panel build quality while keeping operation clear and consistent for maintenance and commissioning tasks.
