SIEMENS HNF261 Heavy-Duty Safety Switch

The SIEMENS HNF261 is a heavy-duty safety switch rated for 600 V and 30 A with a DPST contact form. It provides reliable power isolation for industrial electrical controls and automation systems in indoor environments.

Surface-Mount Steel Enclosure

The switch mounts directly onto a flat surface using its steel NEMA 1 enclosure rated IP20. A 90-degree actuator is included for straightforward handle operation. Ensure the mounting surface can support the unit and allows full actuator travel without obstruction.

Verify Voltage, Amperage and Horsepower Requirements

Confirm your circuit operates at or below 600 V AC and 30 A before ordering. The switch carries a 75 hp rating at 240 V AC and a 10 hp rating at 600 V AC. A neutral assembly is included, so check whether your wiring configuration requires it.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the switch is operating correctly after installation?

After setup, confirm the 90-degree actuator moves smoothly between positions and that the contacts open and close cleanly at the 30 A, 600 V rating.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The enclosure includes the 90-degree actuator and a neutral assembly; fuses are not applicable for this non-fusible model, so no fuse purchase is needed.

Which version suits a 75 hp motor at 240 V versus a 10 hp motor at 600 V?

This single HNF261 model covers both — it is rated 75 hp at 240 V AC and 10 hp at 600 V AC, so one unit handles either application.
