30 mm Selector Switch for Industrial Control Panels
The Dayton 30G298 is a 30 mm selector switch designed for machine-shop and electrical-starter panels. It provides a maintained two-position action with a 2NO/2NC contact form, suited for operators who need a positive lever feel. The cam E configuration delivers XOXO operation in position A and OXOX in position B, with no third position available. This switch fits standard 30 mm cut-outs in metal enclosures.
IP65 Front Seal and NEMA 13/4 Ratings Protect
The operator head carries an IP65 rating, blocking dust and low-pressure water jets from the panel front. NEMA 13 and 4 ratings confirm protection against oil, coolant and splashing water in industrial environments. Contacts are rated 10A at 600V AC and 2.5A at 600V DC under NEMA A600/Q600 designations. The plastic lever and zinc bezel dissipate minimal heat during normal switching duty.
Metal Body with Zinc Bezel Mounts in Standard 30
Basic metal construction and a silver zinc bezel give the switch mechanical rigidity for repeated lever operation. The 30 mm mounting diameter matches common panel punch sizes, so no special cut-out tools are required. Two normally-open and two normally-closed contacts terminate at the rear for straightforward wiring. The maintained action keeps the lever in the selected position until manually moved.

Questions about this item
How do I install the 30 mm selector switch and what step is often missed?
Mount the switch in a 30 mm panel cut-out, secure the zinc bezel, then wire the 2NO/2NC contacts to the screw terminals; the step often missed is tightening the terminal screws to the specified torque so the 10 A @ 600 V AC rating is maintained.
What maintenance or replacement will the selector switch need later?
The switch is rated NEMA 13, 4 and IP65; inspect the plastic operator head and metal housing periodically for wear or contamination, and replace the complete unit if the 10 A @ 600 V AC / 2.5 A @ 600 V DC contacts show pitting or the maintained action becomes inconsistent.
What limit appears first under sustained use of the selector switch?
The contact rating of 10 A @ 600 V AC and 2.5 A @ 600 V DC is the primary limit; continuous operation at or near these currents will cause contact erosion before the IP65 seal or mechanical cam mechanism reaches its endurance limit.
