This isolator switch has a wide operating temperature range between -25°C and +55°C, so it's a good choice for use in harsh industrial environments.

A fused isolator switch like this one breaks the circuit using a fuse, while non-fused types break the circuit using a rotary switch or knife-blade disconnect. Fused isolator switches can handle higher loads than non-fused alternatives, so are suitable for use in demanding applications.
