Why Choose the Lovato GX1655O48 Rotary Cam Changeover Switch?
The Lovato GX1655O48 is a compact and dependable 2-pole changeover rotary cam switch without a 0 position, designed for manual circuit selection and changeover duties in industrial and commercial electrical systems. As part of the Lovato GX16 rotary cam switch series, it provides a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 16 A and uses switching diagram 55.
The GX1655O48 contains two switching elements and provides direct changeover between its two operating states without an intermediate OFF position. Its robust cam-operated mechanism offers clear manual switching, while the GX series square contact-block construction provides dependable electrical performance and long mechanical life.
The O48 mounting version is supplied with a modular service cover for 35 mm DIN rail mounting, a black operating handle and a 45 × 54 mm front plate. With an IEC rated insulation voltage of 690 V, IP65 frontal protection and a mechanical life of up to 1,000,000 cycles, it is well suited to control panels, distribution equipment and industrial switching applications.

Reliable Manual Changeover for Electrical Circuits
Rotary cam changeover switches such as the Lovato GX1655O48 provide a mechanically defined method of selecting between two electrical circuits or operating states. Because switching diagram 55 has no intermediate 0 position, the operator selects directly between the two available changeover positions.
The GX16 design combines compact dimensions with high insulation performance and a durable cam-operated switching mechanism. The O48 modular configuration makes the GX1655O48 particularly convenient for DIN rail control assemblies where a front-accessible manual selector is required.
Typical Applications
- Manual selection between two electrical circuits.
- Control and distribution panel changeover functions.
- Industrial machinery operating-mode selection.
- Electrical control and automation cabinets.
- Equipment and auxiliary circuit selection.
- OEM machinery and panel-building applications.
