    Cam Panel-Mount Lever Switches

    Thanks to their ability to handle higher current than switches with contact blocks, these switches are often found in applications from large motors to warehouse lighting systems. The cam pushes contacts more tightly together than contact blocks, allowing more electricity to flow through. However, they aren’t made to be rewired like switches with contact blocks are. These switches require you to grip and twist a lever to turn circuits on or off, so they won’t accidentally actuate if you bump into them. Mount them in a standard panel cutout diameter.
    Choose a switch based on the complexity of your application.
    On/Off Cam Switch—On/off switches have two positions.
    Changeover Cam Switch—Changeover switches have three positions. They work well if you need to toggle between a primary power source and a backup generator.
    Selector Cam Switch—Selector switches have up to six positions. They give you the most control, allowing you to turn on or off multiple devices or different parts of your machine.
    Legend Plates—Legend plates (sold separately) give you a way to change your switch’s message.
