Snap Action Switch 15 A 240 V
This ZORO SELECT snap-action switch uses a hinge lever actuator and DPDT contact form for on-off control in machinery circuits. It carries a 15 A rating at 240 V and connects with 1/4 in quick-connect terminals. The body measures 1.12 in high, 1.82 in wide and 0.64 in deep with mounting holes on 1.00 in centers.
Replaces worn lever switches
It replaces failed snap-action switches in industrial starters, contactors and safety interlocks where the same DPDT action and 15 A 240 V rating are required. The 1.5 in lever length matches the original actuation travel so the mechanical linkage does not need redesign. The jump is worth it when the existing switch shows contact welding, erratic actuation or cracked housing.
Sustained load behaviour
Under continuous 15 A 240 V loading the silver-alloy contacts maintain low resistance without overheating the 1/4 in terminals. The snap-action mechanism keeps contact bounce consistent over repeated cycles so control logic sees clean transitions. The compact 0.64 in depth fits tight enclosures where heat dissipation relies on panel conduction rather than forced airflow.

Questions about this item
What panel cutout and mounting centres does the 1.5 in lever actuator switch require?
The switch mounts on 1.00 in centres; the body measures 1.12 in high, 1.82 in wide and 0.64 in deep, so the panel cutout must accommodate those dimensions.
How do you wire the DPDT contacts, and what mistake do installers make with the 1/4 in quick-connect terminals?
Push each wire fully onto the 1/4 in quick-connect tabs until it clicks; the common error is leaving a loose crimp that causes intermittent contact on the 15 A 240 V circuit.
When should the snap-action mechanism be replaced, and what does the Proposition 65 warning imply for long-term handling?
Replace the switch if the lever no longer snaps cleanly or if contact resistance rises; the Proposition 65 notice means the unit contains listed chemicals, so wash hands after service.
