Product details

That derating curve means you can push this into a hot enclosure without oversizing.

What this disconnect does — and doesn't do

This is a straight switch disconnector — no overload protection, no short-circuit protection. It's meant for isolating a circuit under load, not for protecting it. The main circuit connects via busbar connection with front terminals, so you're looking at a solid copper bar drop, not wire lugs. That's enough to signal position back to a PLC or light a panel indicator. It's a bare-bones disconnect — reliable, simple, and built for the long haul with a mechanical life of 15,000 operating cycles.

Footprint is 70 mm deep, 140 mm wide, 158 mm tall (–). That's a four-pole unit taking up about five and a half inches of DIN-rail width. Front IP40 protection keeps tools and fingers out but isn't rated for washdown — keep this inside a closed panel. Maximum power loss is 57 W, so factor that into your enclosure heat budget.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between this switch disconnector and a molded case circuit breaker like 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0?

The key difference: 3VA1225-1AA42-0AF0 is a switch disconnector with no overload or short-circuit protection — it isolates a circuit under load but doesn't protect it. The 3VA1110-5ED36-0AC0 is a full molded case circuit breaker with a TM210 overcurrent release (LI protection). The disconnect is 140 mm wide (4-pole) versus 76.2 mm (3-pole) for the breaker. Both use front terminals, but the disconnect uses busbar connection while the breaker uses box terminals. They are not drop-in interchangeable — different pole count, different width, different function.

Where can I buy 3VA1225-1AA42-0AF0 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock count or price is published here.

What are the key ratings for 3VA1225-1AA42-0AF0?

Rated 250 A continuous at 40 °C (holds to 50 °C), 690 VAC / 600 VDC operating voltage, 800 V insulation voltage. Four poles, busbar connection, front terminals. Mechanical life 15,000 operating cycles. IP40 front protection.
