Motor Switches



Use these switches to turn motors on and off, or to control lighting and electric heat circuits. They do not provide overload protection.
Toggle switches work like a traditional light switch—just flip the toggle up or down. Even if you’re wearing thick gloves, they’re easy to actuate.
Lever switches aren’t easily activated by accident, since you have to grab and twist the lever on or off. They’re useful in crowded or high-traffic spaces where they might be bumped into.
Finger guards (sold separately) cover the screw terminals on your switch, blocking you from touching a live wire. If you need to move the terminal block, they prevent accidental shock.
