Pass & Seymour 693-IG – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Pass & Seymour 693IG combination switch fit in a single-gang box?
That is the point of the 693IG: two switching functions in the space of one device, so a single-gang opening does the work that would otherwise need two gangs. Body dimensions are 4.06 in height, 1.32 in width, 0.94 in depth. Box fill and conductor count still govern, but the device itself occupies one standard strap position.
2) What wire sizes do the terminals on the 693IG take?
Side wire terminals on the 693IG accept #12 and #14 AWG copper conductors. There is no back-wire or push-in option stated, so plan on wrapping the conductors under the side screws, which matters when you are landing four or more wires in a crowded single-gang box.
3) Can I feed the two halves of the 693IG from separate circuits?
Yes. The 693IG has an accessible break-off feed tab. Leave it intact for a common feed and both halves run off one supply; snap it off and each half can be fed from its own circuit. If you break it, remember the second supply has to be brought into the box.
4) I need a combination switch and receptacle, not two switches - what should I order instead of the Pass & Seymour 693IG?
The Pass & Seymour 693IG is a combination switch device with a pilot light, so both halves are switching functions. If the opening calls for a switch paired with a duplex receptacle, the Eaton 275VBOX is a decorator duplex combination switch with auto-ground, rated 15A, in White and listed as commercial grade. It is a different device configuration, so confirm the box fill and the plate opening before swapping.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Pass & Seymour 693IG if I need a switch with a pilot light but in a single-function device?
The Pass & Seymour 693IG is a combination switch that puts two switching functions in one device opening and carries a red neon pilot light rated 1/25 Watt, 125V. If you only need one switched leg with indication, the Leviton 1223-PLR is a 3-way extra heavy-duty industrial grade toggle switch with pilot light, rated 20-Amp 120-Volt, and the Bryant 4801GLI is a 4-Series lighted AC switch rated 20A 277V. Both are single switching functions in the yoke rather than two, so they occupy the same device space without the 693IG's ability to control two circuits from one gang.
6) Is the Pass & Seymour 693IG rated for 277V lighting circuits?
The Pass & Seymour 693IG pilot light is rated 1/25 Watt, 125V and the device is cULus Listed with side wire terminals that accept #12 and #14 AWG conductors. For 277V lighting branch circuits, the comparable set includes the Bryant 9801 BR Series 1-pole AC switch rated 15A 120/277V, the Bryant 4802L 4 Series single-pole locking AC switch at 20A 277V, and the Leviton 1221-2W specification grade SPST toggle at 20A 120/277V AC. Those are single-function switches, so you give up the two-in-one combination format of the 693IG.
7) What does the pilot light on the 693IG indicate, and what voltage does it need?
It is a long-life red neon pilot light rated 1/25 Watt at 125V, giving a visual on/off status for the controlled circuit. That makes it useful where the load is out of sight, attic fans, basement or crawlspace lighting, exterior fixtures, so a property manager can see at the wall plate whether the circuit is live.
8) Will the Ivory 693IG match the other ivory devices and plates already in my building?
The 693IG is Ivory thermoplastic with a matte finish, so it reads the same as standard ivory devices rather than the glossier older ivory or almond tones. It is a toggle-style combination device, not a decorator rocker, so pair it with a toggle-opening wall plate.
9) For a high-traffic commercial facility, how does the Pass & Seymour 693IG compare to industrial grade toggle switches?
The Pass & Seymour 693IG is built with an Ivory thermoplastic housing in a matte finish and is cULus Listed, with grounding that meets NEC requirements for combination devices. If your standardization spec calls for a stated grade, the Leviton 1221-2W is an extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade SPST toggle rated 20A 120/277V AC, the Leviton 1286-W is a 20-Amp DPDT center-off toggle in specification grade, and the Leviton 1221-2IL is an industrial grade locking toggle, SPST 1-pole, 20A 120/277V. Those are single-function devices; the 693IG trades that for two switching functions in one gang.
10) I need a three-position switch for a motor or fan reversing circuit - will the Pass & Seymour 693IG work?
The Pass & Seymour 693IG is a combination switch with two separate switching functions and a pilot light, each operating as a standard on/off toggle, so it does not give you a center-off position. For a three-position device, the Leviton 1286-W is a 20-Amp DPDT center-off toggle switch in industrial/specification grade.
11) What is the exact part number and origin of the ivory Pass & Seymour combination switch?
Order it as Pass & Seymour 693IG, manufacturer part number 693-IG. It is made in Mexico.
12) Will the Pass & Seymour 693IG match the Ivory devices already installed on the rest of my units?
The Pass & Seymour 693IG is Ivory thermoplastic with a matte finish, so it blends with existing Ivory device lines. Among comparable switches, the Eaton 275VBOX combination device and the Leviton 1221-2W toggle are White, so if you are standardizing a floor on Ivory those would be a visible mismatch in the same gang.
