Idec Key Switch, Latching Operation, 2 NO Contact Configuration, 10A Current Rating, 3 Positions, Screw Terminal IP66

Idec CW1K-3AE20 is an IP66 rated key switch designed for industrial and electrical control applications requiring secure on/off or multi-position switch operation. This latching key switch features 3 distinct positions and a 2 Normally Open contact configuration, capable of handling up to 10 amperes of current at both 240 volts AC and DC. The robust IP66 enclosure guarantees resistance to dust ingress and powerful water jets, making it suitable for demanding manufacturing, automation, and industrial environments.

Constructed with high-quality silver contact material, the switch assures reliable contact and longevity under frequent operation. Its screw-type terminals enable secure connection and straightforward wiring, complying with IEC 60947-5-1 mounting hole standards of 22.3mm diameter. With a 45° key index angle, the operator has precise control within the 3-position switch mechanism. Additionally, the absence of key trapping enhances operational safety by allowing key withdrawal in any switch position.

The Idec CW series integrates a two-step locking lever with a guard to improve operator safety and reduce accidental activations. Minimal panel projection optimizes control panel space. The switch is rated for reliable operation in temperatures as low as -25°C, making it suited for harsh environmental conditions often encountered in commercial electrical, HVAC, and industrial setups.

Complies with IP66 for dust and water protection. Latching switch operation ensures stable switch positioning. 2 Normally Open silver contacts rated for 10A at 240V AC/DC. Screw terminals provide secure electrical connections.

Robust design with silver contact material for durability. 22.3mm mounting hole for quick integration to panels. 45° key index angle supports precise switch actuation. Key trapping free design enhances user convenience and safety.

Operates effectively down to -25°C ambient temperatures. Part of the IDEC CW series with innovative safety and ergonomic features.

This key switch is ideal for use in industrial automation, electrical control panels, manufacturing equipment, and HVAC control where reliable multi-position switching and high ingress protection are critical.
