Littelfuse has expanded its solar product line of fuses, relays, surge protection devices, and more with its new Dc Disconnect Switch. Entrusted with over 25 million installations, the company understands the challenges of photovoltaic systems and what it takes to produce a DC disconnect switch that can handle the extreme conditions of PV applications.

When trying to isolate circuits or repair systems, the user needs to be able to interrupt the flow of current to stop shock hazards as well as damage to equipment. These LS6 and LS6R DC series disconnect switches are energy-efficient, compact disconnect switches that quickly break or resume the flow of current safely.

The streamlined design of the DC disconnect switch removes the necessity for external bridging links or jumpers. This reduces heat dissipation for improved energy efficiency, reduces installation and maintenance time, and decreases its footprint for added design flexibility.

Offered in various voltage and ampere ratings, the switches are ideal for photovoltaic or energy storage systems, oil and gas, railway, and UPS systems.
