Single-pole push-button switch

The Hubbell HBL1281 is a single-pole push-button switch rated for 20 A at 120/277 V AC. It is intended for residential or commercial lighting circuits where a maintained on-off action is required. The brown finish suits standard decorator wall plates.

Wiring and circuit checks

Verify that the supply voltage matches the 120/277 V AC rating and that the circuit breaker does not exceed 20 A. Confirm the existing box accepts side-wired screw terminals and that conductors fall between 14 AWG and 10 AWG. The switch provides a 1 hp motor rating for fan loads.

Thermals and operation

The impact-resistant body and large brass binding-head screws with deep slots maintain secure connections under normal load. No active cooling is used; the device dissipates heat through its mounting strap. Operation is silent with a positive mechanical click.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box with the HBL1281 switch and what must be purchased separately?

The box contains the single-pole push-button switch with large brass binding-head screws and a strip gauge for accurate wiring. You must supply 14 to 10 AWG wire and a suitable wall box.

The HBL1281 is rated 20 A at 120/277 V AC with a 1 hp motor rating — which version should I choose?

This is the only version offered: a brown, single-pole, maintained-contact switch rated 20 A, 120/277 V AC, 1 hp, with side-wired screw terminals. Select it when those ratings match your circuit.

What does the 20 A 120/277 V rating mean once the switch is installed in a real circuit?

It means the switch can safely control a 120 V or 277 V AC lighting or motor load up to 20 A resistive or 1 hp inductive, using 14 to 10 AWG conductors on the side screw terminals.
