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.
❑ Rating
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 mΩ max.
• Insulation resistance : 1.000 MΩ min. at 500VDC
• Dielectric strength :
2.000 Vrms 50 Hz min. between terminals

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Connection
• For quick-connect terminals, use 6,3 x 0,8 mm
normalized female connectors.
• For screw terminals, use :
either 1,5 mm2or 2,5 mm2rigid wires,
or prepared stripped and tin plated flexible wires,
or prepared flexible wires with crimped termination per
EN 50027 (DIN 46228)
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.
