GX1691U25 Lovato 2P ON -OFF SWITCH GX16 48×48 FRONT MOUNTING

Why Choose the Lovato GX1691U25 ON-OFF Rotary Cam Switch?

The Lovato GX1691U25 is a robust 2-pole ON-OFF rotary cam switch designed for manual isolation and switching of electrical circuits in industrial machinery and control panels. Part of the Lovato GX16 rotary cam switch series, it has a conventional free-air thermal current rating of 16 A and uses switching diagram 91 for straightforward two-pole ON-OFF operation.

Designed for front mounting, the GX1691U25 features a highly visible red/yellow rotary handle that can be padlocked in the 0/OFF position. Protective terminal covers are included, while the compact 48 × 48 mm front plate makes the switch suitable for machinery and electrical panels where space-efficient manual switching and secure OFF-position isolation are required.

The GX1691U25 combines a 690 V rated insulation voltage, 6 kV rated impulse withstand voltage and IP65 frontal protection with screw-terminal connections. These characteristics make it a durable switching solution for machine builders, panel builders and industrial automation applications.

Reliable ON-OFF Switching and Manual Isolation

Rotary cam switches use mechanically operated contacts to provide clear and repeatable switching between predefined circuit states. A two-pole ON-OFF configuration allows two conductors or circuit paths to be switched together, making this arrangement useful for machinery, control circuits and other industrial electrical installations.

The Lovato GX1691U25 combines this straightforward switching function with a red/yellow handle that can be padlocked in the OFF position. Together with the protective terminal covers, front mounting and IP65 frontal protection, this makes the switch particularly suitable where secure manual switching and clear operator indication are required.

Typical Applications

• Industrial machinery ON-OFF switching.
• Electrical control panels and enclosures.
• Manual machine isolation controls.
• Production and processing equipment.
• Packaging and material handling machinery.
• Industrial automation equipment.
• OEM machinery requiring padlockable OFF-position switching.
