600H and 600NH series

Toggle switches - high amperage

Distinctive features and specifications

Construction
Terminal and contact support are manufactured from a single piece of metal. The
contacts are resistance-welded to the terminal for increased mechanical strength.

These switches are suitable for motor loads and power applications up to
15A 250VAC or 10A 400VAC

Metal or insulated lever

UL, CSA and NF-VDE (EN 61058-1) approved
ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Max. current/voltage ratings : see tables below

Peak current : 30A max. during 1/2 sine, 250VAC
Initial contact resistance : 10 m max. at 1A 2VDC
Insulation resistance : 1.000 M min. at 500VDC

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Connection
For quick-connect terminals, use 6,3 x 0,8 mm
normalized female connectors.
For screw terminals, use :
either 1,5 mm2 or 2,5 mm2 rigid wires,
or prepared stripped and tin plated flexible wires,
or prepared flexible wires with crimped termination per
EN 50027 (DIN 46228)

EN 61058-1

Availability : see chart on previous page.

Marking : approved models are standard marked.

Ground connector
Compulsory if the panel is not metallic or not connected
to ground. Should also be used when front face nut is of
plastic material.
Order separately, see section I.
