The LW5D16/D0401.2L16A is a 3position, 2pole rotary selector switch with latching action and a changeover cam mechanism. It is designed for reliable manual control in control panels and automation equipment. The unit mounts with four screws and is rated for up to 16 A, enabling safe routing and selection of two separate circuits. Key benefits Latching rotary design prevents unintended switching by maintaining a latched position until deliberately changed Changeover cam mechanism provides distinct, positive transition between circuits Three selectable positions offer flexible control options within a compact 2pole footprint Fourscrew panel mounting ensures secure installation and stable operation in challenging environments 16 A current rating supports mediumduty control tasks in industrial equipment Clean, compact rotary form factor simplifies integration into control panels and equipment housings Key attributes Model: LW5D16/D0401.2L16A Type: Rotary selector switch with latching action Positions: 3 Poles: 2 Mounting/termination: Four screws Mechanism: Changeover cam switch Electrical rating: 16 A Applications: Suitable for control panels, automation equipment, and machines requiring mode selection or circuit routing Applications and use cases Control panels in manufacturing or packaging lines to select operating modes or route signals to different subsystems Industrial machinery to switch between two circuits or power paths, enabling safe and deliberate changeover Laboratory or test bench setups to select between different supply rails or measurement routes for repeatable testing This description reflects the model LW5D16/D0401.2L16A with its 3position, 2pole, fourscrew mounting, latching rotary selector and changeover cam switch functionality and features.
