Miniature Rocker Switches

Switch

Illuminated Switch

Maximize space in a panel—these switches are smaller than most standard rocker switches.

Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.

Switches with an on-on position designation alternate power between sets of terminals.

Rocker Switches

Two-Position Switch

Illuminated Two-Position Switch

Illuminated Three-Position Switch

Illuminated two-position switches light up when the power is switched on.

Illuminated three-position switches stay lit regardless of switch position.

Switches with an on-on position designation alternate power between sets of terminals.

Note: Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.

Outlet Strips

Provide power to multiple devices with these outlet strips. A circuit breaker prevents damage from current overload and short circuits.

Telephone connections connect to a land line. 90° elbow plugs fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.

Outlet strips with 90° and 360° outlet orientation accommodate large plugs. Surge suppression outlet strips protect against damage from voltage spikes. Surge rating indicates how much energy the outlet strip can absorb before it needs to be replaced; the higher the number, the better the protection.

Fasten mounting clips to a surface, and snap the channel on the back of outlet strips into the clips.
