PCE ML016.3-TB/RG5 Cam Switch 0-1 3-Pole 16A IP65 Flush-Mounted

The PCE ML016.3-TB/RG5 is a professional 3-pole cam switch engineered for flush mounting applications. Designed to handle a current rating of 16A, this device provides a reliable 0-1 switching mechanism for controlling electrical circuits. With an IP65 protection rating, the switch is fully protected against dust ingress and water jets, making it a durable solution for demanding industrial and commercial environments.

Advantages

This cam switch stands out due to its robust construction and high level of environmental sealing. The flush-mounted design allows for a clean, integrated installation on control panels or machinery housings. Its 3-pole configuration ensures safe disconnection of three-phase circuits, while the high-quality materials used in its manufacturing guarantee long-term operational stability and resistance to mechanical wear in professional settings.

Suitable for

• Industrial control panels
• Machinery power switching
• Electrical distribution systems
• Outdoor or dusty environments requiring IP65 protection

When it may not be suitable

This switch is not intended for high-voltage applications exceeding its rated capacity or for environments requiring specific hazardous area certifications. It is also not suitable for surface-mounted installations without an appropriate enclosure.

Key specifications

• Switching positions: 0-1
• Number of poles: 3
• Rated current: 16A
• Protection rating: IP65
• Mounting type: Flush-mounted

How to use

The switch is installed into a pre-cut opening on a panel or enclosure. Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before beginning the installation process. Secure the switch using the provided mounting hardware, ensuring the seal is properly seated to maintain the IP65 rating. Once installed, connect the electrical conductors to the corresponding terminals according to the wiring diagram. The switch is operated by rotating the handle between the 0 and 1 positions.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the current requirements of your circuit do not exceed 16A
• Ensure the panel thickness is compatible with the flush-mounting mechanism
• Confirm the IP65 rating meets your specific environmental needs

Usage recommendations

Always ensure that the electrical installation is performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local safety regulations. Regularly inspect the switch for signs of wear or damage, especially if installed in harsh industrial conditions.
