The load switches of the C, CA and CAD-series offer a solution for most cam switch applications

Author: EFFSEN | HONGKONG | Date: 2025-11-05

Kraus & Naimer's load switches of the C, CA and CAD-series offer a solution for most cam switch applications. Different contact designs, contact materials and terminals allow for their use as control switches, instrumentation switches and motor control switches, as well as in electronic circuitry and in aggressive environments according to IEC 60947-3 and VDE 0660 part 107.

The stage is the basis for all switches and can be supplied with a maximum of 2 contacts. The terminals are accessible from the side. CA and CAD switches are supplied with open terminals to facilitate wiring and are protected against accidental finger contact according to EN 50274, VDE 0660 part 514 and DGUV V3. Switches up to type CA25B are supplied with captive screws with clamping plates. The switch types CA40-CA63 are supplied with box terminals. Captive plus-minus terminal screws and integrated screwdriver guides facilitate wiring.

If a positive manual operation or a higher DC rating is required, many of these switches can be fitted with a snap action latching mechanism - suffix „S“ - to the switch type.

The cam-operated switches of the L-series are continuous currentrated for off-load switching. They may be used to switch resistive or low inductive loads.
