Legrand 1256L 30 A Locking Wall Switch
The Legrand 1256L is a 30 A 120 to 277 V AC two-pole wall switch with a locking toggle mechanism. It uses side wiring for secure termination and carries UL and CSA certifications for general-purpose environments. The black finish suits standard commercial or industrial wall plates. Electricians and facility managers select it when a switch must resist accidental or unauthorised operation.
Sustained Load Behaviour
The switch is rated for continuous 30 A service across the full 120 to 277 V AC range without derating. Its locking toggle prevents vibration or contact from changing state during extended runs. Side-wired connections maintain consistent contact resistance over long duty cycles. The UL/CSA listing confirms temperature rise stays within limits during prolonged operation at rated current.

Questions about this item
How much heat or noise does the 1256L produce when left on all day?

What wiring must already be in place for the 1256L to work?
The 1256L uses side-wiring terminals and requires a 120–277 V AC circuit rated for at least 30 A with a suitable enclosure and cover plate.
