Schlegel Elektrokontakt QRWB Switching Function: Maintained Direction-Angle: 2 x 45� DegreesPanel Cutout: � 22.3…

The Schlegel Elektrokontakt QRWB is a precision-engineered maintained selector switch designed for industrial control panels and machinery requiring sustained switching operations. This 2x45° switch features a compact 22.3mm panel cutout, making it ideal for space-constrained applications while maintaining robust performance. The switch is rated for IP65 protection (front) and IP65/IP67 (rear with M12 connector plugged in), ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments. The QRWB is constructed with silver-plated AgNi contacts for low contact resistance and long service life, meeting EN 60947-5-1 and EN 61058-1 standards. It features a 4-pole M12 connector (A-coded) for secure, vibration-resistant connections, eliminating the need for additional terminal blocks. The charcoal-colored bezel provides a professional appearance while resisting corrosion and wear. Key applications include control panels for machinery, industrial automation systems, and equipment requiring maintained switching states. The Class II protective insulation (double insulation) ensures operator safety without requiring additional grounding, simplifying installation in control cabinets. The switch's maintained function ensures the selected position remains locked until manually reset, preventing accidental state changes in critical operations. Available configurations include 2 NO contacts as standard, with optional front bezel colors (silver, black, or stainless steel polished) for aesthetic flexibility. The switch is manufactured in Germany by Georg Schlegel GmbH & Co. KG, a leader in industrial switching components since 1950. For applications requiring momentary operation, Schlegel offers compatible momentary switches in the same form factor.
