Eaton 3 Position Selector Switch Head, 16 mm Cutout, Red Handle Q25LWK3R-WS

The Eaton Q25LWK3R-WS Series 3 Position Selector Switch Head is engineered for industrial and commercial control panels requiring reliable operator switches. Featuring a compact 16 mm cutout, this selector switch is ideal for applications where space and modular flexibility are required. The switch head’s red actuator handle offers excellent visibility and tactile feedback, supporting clear indication of switch position in demanding environments.

With three distinct positions, the Q25LWK3R-WS enables operators to select multiple control states for equipment or processes. The device is constructed with a stay-put action mechanism and provides an IP65 protection rating, meaning it resists dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, suitable for harsh industrial use. Mechanical durability is ensured with a life rating of 500,000 cycles, making it a dependable choice for continuous-duty settings.

Its standard 16 mm panel cutout allows for seamless integration into most control panel designs, and behind-panel depth is limited to 49 mm, supporting dense installations. This selector switch is compatible with wedge base lamps in 6V, 12V, and 24V voltage ratings; lamps are available separately. The switch head accommodates up to two contact blocks per unit with options for either normally open or normally closed configurations - these contacts are sold separately within the range.

Colour-coded contact blocks are designed for efficiency, rated for up to 230 V at 4 A, and offer low current switching with a long life expectancy of up to three million operations. The Q25LWK3R-WS conforms to IEC/EN 60947 international standards, assuring safety, performance consistency, and regulatory compliance. Its modular design permits close butting of multiple devices, maximizing panel space compared to larger 22.5 mm devices.

Industrial applications include machinery operator panels, manufacturing process controls, HVAC interface modules, and laboratory automation systems. This model is ideally suited for users seeking high reliability and flexibility in selector switch operations across manufacturing, electrical, and automation settings.
