- Compact 1.7 in height fits standard boxes
Industrial Toggle Switch
The Bryant 4801BGRY is a single-pole, maintained-contact toggle switch rated for 15 A at 120/277 V AC. It is built for industrial control panels, lighting circuits and motor loads up to 2 hp where a positive mechanical action is required. The grey body provides clear visual identification in electrical enclosures.
Replaces Worn Toggle Mechanisms
This unit replaces failed or aged toggle switches that no longer make reliable contact or that show heat damage at the terminals. The upgrade is worth it when the existing device is a standard toggle without the 2 hp motor rating or the dual-voltage UL/CSA/NOM listing needed for mixed 120 V and 277 V branches.
Screw Terminal Back and Side Wiring
Installation uses screw terminals accessible from the back and side, accepting solid or stranded conductors without special tools. The 1.7 in overall height fits standard industrial wall boxes. Common issues include over-torquing the terminal screws, which can crack the thermoplastic base, and failing to de-energise both 120 V and 277 V legs before servicing.

Questions about this item
What wall-box depth is required for the 1.7 in. tall Bryant 4801BGRY toggle contactor?
The unit measures 1.7 in. overall height, so a standard single-gang box with at least that much clear depth will accommodate it.
Which screw terminals accept back-wiring versus side-wiring on the 4801BGRY?
Both back and side wiring are supported; strip the conductor, insert into the rear clamp or wrap around the side screw, then tighten — skipping the final torque check is the common mistake.
When should the toggle mechanism on this 15 A 120/277V contactor be replaced?
Replace the switch if the toggle feels loose, fails to latch in either position, or shows contact arcing during its 2 hp motor-load cycles.
