Allen-Bradley 194E-FA16E-P11 is a 3‑pole IEC load switch rated for 16 A, designed for use in industrial control panels as a main or maintenance disconnect. Housed in a painted steel enclosure suitable for NEMA Type 3/4/12 service, it provides IP66 enclosure protection and supports base or DIN rail mounting with a surface-mount option. The unit features a red/yellow handle and offers auxiliary contacts mounted on both the left and right sides (1 NO, 1 NC on each side). Electrical and mechanical specs include a 16 A, 3‑pole rating at 60 Hz, tightening torque of 1.4 Nm, and a mechanical life of up to 200,000 cycles. Wiring accommodations include rigid conductors 1–10 mm2 (16–10 AWG) and fine strands 1.5–6 mm2 (16–8 AWG), with a terminal size corresponding to IEC 947-1: A4. The 194E-FA16E-P11 is listed for main switch and maintenance/service switch roles, and is certified to CCC, IECEE, and UKCA standards. Typical applications include isolation of motors and equipment in industrial control panels, distribution boards, and safety-disconnect configurations requiring a rugged, weather-rated enclosure and reliable switching performance.
