This SKU - K1

The 56 Series key-operated range uses a naming convention that tells you exactly what the lock does and which key it takes:

• K1 - Locks in OFF position only
• K2 - Locks in ON and OFF positions
• CK - Common Key

This SKU 56K1SW115-GY has K1 in the model number (locks in OFF position only)

Why it Matters

Weather-Sealed and Key-Controlled

The IP66 seal to AS 60529 keeps dust and jetted water out, while the key actuator adds an access-control layer that a standard rotary switch cannot. Operating from -25 to 75°C, it is designed to hold up in outdoor installations exposed to dust and jetted water.

Physical Lock-Out Where It Counts

With the K1 mechanism the switch can be locked with the removable key in the OFF position, and the rotary handle also accepts two 8 mm padlocks for additional lock-out. The switch has a 15 kA breaking capacity, meaning it can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level.

Compliant to Australian Standards

Manufactured to AS/NZS 3133, the 56K1SW115-GY covers M80 motor duty at 250V and is backed by an 18-month Schneider Electric manufacturer warranty. The unit is Green Premium listed and mercury-free.

Q: What does the K1 in 56K1SW115-GY mean?
A: The K1 designation means the switch locks in the OFF position only. The K2 variant locks in both ON and OFF positions.

Q: Is the 56K1SW115-GY supplied with a common key?
A: No. Without CK in the part number, the switch is supplied with a random key. CK-suffix variants use the common No 103 key but are not currently in our range.

Q: What size cable can I terminate into the 56K1SW115-GY?
A: The terminals accept 6 to 1.5 AWG conductors with a recommended tightening torque of 0.8 N.m.
