Suggest a new load disconnect switch - atgcpaul - 10-23-2015

This 40A switch needs to be replaced but I'm having trouble finding something comparable. It sits on a DIN rail. Any suggestions?



Thanks,
Paul

I would suggest using google with the manufacturer and number that is visible on the top of the switch.

Should have been more clear. Looking for something more readily available--like Monday. I need to go through their US distributor--they have one office in the US and noone picked up this afternoon. Trying to find an alternative. Grainger sells a Square D but it's only 3 pole.

I usually go to Automation Direct for stuff like that. I think I have this disconnect on my mill disconnect

You were both right. I contacted the US sales office and after some back and forth, they said the easiest place to buy it was Automation Direct. After I slapped myself on the forehead for not searching for "Socomec" on Automation Direct, I ordered it and replaced the disconnect today. All better now.

Thanks to both.
