Schneider Electric Black Selector Switch, 3 Positions, Panel Mount - Harmony XB4 Series - XB4BD33
This three-position selector switch from Schneider Electric is a reliable control mechanism for your industrial applications. Its maximum voltage of 600V AC makes it a good choice for use in heavy-duty machinery. The switch is an easy-to-use stay-put type, with two positions at plus or minus 45° to the central neutral position. Screw terminals ensure a simple and secure connection without the need for specialised tools. The unit calls for a standard 22mm mounting hole, meaning it takes up minimal space on your control panel.

• 10A cartridge fuse to protect your equipment against short circuits
• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C for safe use in extreme settings
Applications
• Logistics and shipping
• Mechanical engineering

Why should I use a three-position switch rather than a two-position switch?
Using a three-position switch with the 'off' position in the middle makes it more difficult to select the incorrect position or circuit. This is because there is a clearer differentiation between the two positions and the operator has to click the switch twice to change the circuit, minimising the risk of human error.
