Why Choose the 7GN1290U12?

The Lovato 7GN1290U12 rotary cam ON/OFF switch delivers dependable single‑pole 16 A control with key operation. Designed for front mounting without a front plate, it fits a Ø22 mm panel cut‑out using the U12 mounting form. Part of the 7GN series round-shaped contact block range, it provides a compact operator solution for control panels where authorised switching and clear ON/OFF functionality are essential.

Engineered for industrial environments, this switch offers a 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and an IP40 frontal rating. It operates from -25 to +55 °C and stores from -40 to +70 °C. Conformity to IEC/EN/BS 60947-1, 60947-3 and 60947-5-1, plus UL60947-4-1 and CSA C22.2 n° 14, underpins reliable performance across panels using Ø22 mm devices.

Key Benefits

  • Single-pole 16 A switching for straightforward ON/OFF control.
  • Key-operated actuator helps deter unauthorised or accidental operation.
  • U12 front mounting suits Ø22 mm panel holes; no front plate required.
  • IP40 frontal protection for enclosed control panels and operator stations.
  • 6 kV impulse withstand enhances robustness against transient overvoltages.
