Wall Switch 15 A 120/277V AC
This single-pole double-throw wall switch handles 15 amps at 120 or 277 volts AC. It is a momentary-contact device without illumination or pilot light, built with shatter- and impact-resistant materials and UL listed for safety. Suitable for residential or commercial lighting and motor-control circuits.
Back and Side Wiring 10–14 AWG
The switch accepts back-wired or side-wired conductors from 14 AWG up to 10 AWG, giving installers flexibility during rough-in or retrofit. Mounting holes are spaced 3.3 inches centre-to-centre, matching standard US wall boxes. No locking mechanism or horsepower rating applies to this model.
Momentary Center-Off Operation
The three-position centre-off action returns to the off position when released, ideal for momentary motor jogging or signalling circuits. It does not latch in the on position, so it cannot replace a maintained-contact toggle or decorator switch. Buyers needing a stay-on switch or a pilot-light indicator should select a different device.
