Plastic 22 mm Panel-Mount Lever Switches
These switches are rated IP66, IP69K, NEMA 3S, NEMA 4X, and NEMA 13, and are UL and C-UL Recognized Components. They include enough contact blocks to control the number of circuits listed. Contact blocks are rated IP20 and are UL and C-UL Listed.
Three-position switches are off in the center position.
Illuminated switches include a bulb. If wiring the switch and the bulb to the same circuit, the circuit voltage must not exceed bulb voltage.
Mounting tools (sold separately) make it easier to install switches in crowded panels.
Additional contact blocks (sold separately) can be added to control more circuits, or replace the included contact block.
