Bryant 3025I DPDT Maintained Contact AC Switch
The Bryant 3025I is a DPDT (double-pole, double-throw) maintained contact AC switch engineered for dependable manual circuit control in electrical and control wiring systems. Its maintained-contact design holds the switch in the selected position after actuation, delivering a stable, continuous circuit state until the switch is manually changed again. As a double-pole switch, the 3025I can control two separate circuits simultaneously from a single actuation point, simplifying wiring layouts where coordinated switching is required. Backed by the Bryant name, this AC switch is built to support consistent, dependable performance in professional electrical installations. It offers a straightforward manual switching solution for electricians and contractors who need positive, repeatable control over paired AC circuits.
Key Features
- DPDT Configuration: Double-pole, double-throw switching lets one switch control two separate circuits at the same time, reducing the number of individual switches needed in a control layout.
- Maintained Contact Operation: Unlike a momentary switch, the maintained-contact mechanism holds its last commanded position, keeping the connected circuit in a stable on or off state until the switch is manually actuated again.
- AC Circuit Switching: Purpose-built as an AC switch for controlling alternating current circuits in electrical and control wiring applications.
- Single-Point Actuation: A single manual operation switches both poles together, simplifying operation and reducing wiring complexity for dual-circuit control points.
- Bryant Manufactured: Produced under the Bryant brand, a longstanding name in electrical wiring devices used by electricians and contractors on professional installations.

Bryant 3025I – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does DPDT maintained contact mean on the Bryant 3025I switch?
DPDT stands for double-pole, double-throw: one actuation switches two separate circuits at the same time from a single point. Maintained contact means the 3025I stays where you put it, holding the selected circuit state until someone physically moves it again. That is the opposite of a momentary switch, which springs back as soon as you let go. If your control scheme needs the state held after the operator walks away, maintained is what you want.
2) Will the Bryant 3025I switch two circuits at once, or do I need two switches?
One 3025I handles both. The double-pole design ties both poles to a single manual actuation, so two separate AC circuits change state together. That is why it gets specified for dual-circuit control points, where using two individual switches risks the circuits ending up out of step.
3) Can the Bryant 3025I be used in place of a DC disconnect switch?
No. The Bryant 3025I is purpose-built as an AC switch for alternating current circuits. For direct current switching, the Bussmann TPHCS-250 is a TPH series high-current switch rated 80 Vdc with a 100kA SCCR. The two address different current types and should not be swapped.
4) What should I use instead of the Bryant 3025I if I only need to switch a single lighting circuit from two locations?
The Bryant 3025I is a DPDT maintained contact AC switch, meaning one actuation moves two separate circuits together. If the job is a single lighting circuit controlled from two locations, a 3-way device is the right part instead: the Pass & Seymour 2623W is a specification grade 3-way decorator paddle switch rated 20A at 120V/277V in white. The 3025I does not serve the same wall-box three-way function.
5) Is the Bryant 3025I appropriate for a manual motor or machine isolation point?
Yes, that is one of its stated uses. Maintained contact means the machine circuit stays in the commanded state without anyone holding the switch, and the double-pole action breaks or makes both circuits together at one point, which is what you want at a manual switching or isolation location.
6) Is the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3I a substitute for the Bryant 3025I because both are ivory switches?
They are not interchangeable. The Bryant 3025I is a DPDT maintained contact AC switch that controls two circuits from one actuation, typically in control panel and machine control wiring. The Pass & Seymour CS15AC3I is a commercial specification grade switch in ivory, a standard wiring device for a conventional wall box. Matching color does not make the pole and throw configuration equivalent.
7) For a high-abuse industrial panel, what is the alternative to the Bryant 3025I?
The Bryant 3025I is a DPDT maintained contact AC switch used for manual circuit switching and isolation points in control layouts. Where the requirement is a heavy-duty toggle in a standard device box rather than double-pole double-throw switching, the Pass & Seymour CSB20AC4I is a hard use specification grade toggle switch in ivory. Choose the 3025I when two circuits must transfer together, and the CSB20AC4I when a rugged single toggle meets the drawing.
8) What is the difference between the Bryant 3025I and the Pass & Seymour CS15AC3W for a commercial tenant fit-out?
The Bryant 3025I is a DPDT maintained contact AC switch intended for control wiring where a single actuation switches two circuits and holds its position until changed. The Pass & Seymour CS15AC3W is a commercial specification grade toggle switch in white, a standard wiring device for general room switching. Specify the 3025I on control and equipment circuits, and the CS15AC3W where a conventional white toggle is called for.
