How to order L2 control

and load switches
A complete L2 switch is ordered with Switch Handle Assemblies - page K8
just two catalog numbers. The first
number specifies the switch body and
the second specifies the switch handle
assembly. All L2 switch bodies come
standard with a shaft and mounting
screws for the switch handle assembly.
Accessories such as shaft extensions and
enclosures are ordered separately.
First determine the switch body you
need from pages K4 through K7.
Then turn to page K8 to choose a
switch handle assembly. If necessary,
turn to page K10 and K11 to deter-
mine the type and length of shaft exten-
sion you require.

Adjustable metal shaft extensions snap on securely to LA2
switches via the same quick-connect design as shaft extension Short Metal Shaft
modules. Metal shafts are equipped with a door interlock and
a padlock hasp for locking out the switch after the enclosure is LA2-G3393
opened (for outside lockout, select a Switch Handle Assembly Length: 10 . . . 235mm
with lockout capability). (4-21/64…9-1/4 in.)

• If necessary convert Mounting Depth inches to millimeters

(inches x 25.4 = millimeters).
• In the Metal Shaft Extension Table to the right, find the Mounting Depth
in the column under the appropriate LA2 Switch Body.
NOTE: Table is based on an LA2 switch body with two wafers (3 or 4

following from overall Mounting Depth before referring to table:
LA2-12/16 Switch Body- ±10mm per wafer
LA2-20/25 Switch Body- ±12.5mm per wafer
• Order the Metal Shaft Extension required for that Mounting Depth.

➊ For DIN rail mounted devices, remember to deduct the offset distance provided
by the rail. For example, deduct 2.5mm from the Mounting Depth for switch
bodies mounted on DIN 46277 rail.
➋ This dimension can be reduced by another 55mm by cutting the plastic sleeve
and further cutting the metal shaft.
