AC switches

European shape switches

IEC / UL / CSA / CCC

(e.g. drills, jigsaw, circular saw)

 

Model 35-.. , 40-.. and 50-.. have a similar mounting configuration, however it is possible that model 50-.. requires minor changes in the clam shell. These changes do not affect the fit of model 35-.. and 40-..

General remark:

The CAPAX AC Switch Application Guidelines Manual supplies additional technical information for making the optimized selection.

However it is recommended to have the chosen combination approved by CAPAX Engineering Department.

  1. Maximum power is for non-adjustable versions. Adjustable versions may reduce the power.

  2. Amp rating data defined by approval boards. Application has to match the capabilities of the electronics.

  3. The application may very over a wide range, depending on motor and tool characteristics.
