18CH - 1A, 24V, Switch

The 18CH - 1A, 24V, Switch is a rugged, multi-channel fusible switch designed to deliver reliable on/off isolation and precise overcurrent protection in demanding industrial and commercial settings. With 18 independent channels, each rated for 1A at 24V, this compact switch provides scalable control for complex panels and distributed systems without sacrificing ease of maintenance.

Key features

• 18 independent channels (18CH) for versatile multi-load control
• Each channel rated at 1A, 24V DC, delivering dependable protection where small- to mid-power loads are involved
• Fusible switch design offers reliable on/off isolation combined with overcurrent protection
• Compact form factor tailored for panelboards and space-constrained control cabinets
• Ideal for motor disconnects and branch circuit protection in centralized or distributed control environments

Use cases

• Motor disconnects in compact drive and automation enclosures where multiple loads must be isolated safely
• Panelboard sections that require discrete protection for 18 individual circuits in a single enclosure
• 24V DC control circuits powering sensors, relays, solenoids, and small actuators across manufacturing lines

Why this 18CH switch stands out

Unlike single-point switches, the 18CH configuration consolidates multi-channel protection into one compact device, simplifying wiring and panel layout. The 24V control voltage is ideal for typical automation ecosystems, while the 1A per channel rating helps optimize fuse sizing and energy management for distributed loads. This makes it an especially practical choice for panel builders and maintenance teams aiming for streamlined maintenance and clear, channel-by-channel protection.
