The Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL is an industrial extra heavy-duty specification grade switch built for demanding commercial and industrial wiring projects. This red toggle switch is lighted when on for quick visual status confirmation and supports back and side wire terminations, accepting #14 - #10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors. Backed by cULus Listing, it delivers the durability and code-compliant performance professionals expect from Pass & Seymour.

Key Features

  • Back and Side Wire: External screw-pressure-plate terminals accept #14 - #10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors for flexible installation.
  • Durable Construction: Heavy-gauge one-piece copper alloy contact arm virtually eliminates contact bounce for long-term reliability.
  • Reinforced Back Body: Back body made of glass-reinforced nylon for added strength and heat resistance.
  • Positive Grounding: Auto-ground clip assures positive ground, with a standard grounding terminal.
  • Fast Make, Positive Break: Cam controls fast make and positive break action to minimize arcing.
  • Locking Support: Provides resistance to face and back body separation for a secure assembly.
  • High-Strength Toggle: High strength thermoplastic polycarbonate toggle with heavy-duty bumper pads for quiet operation.
  • Nickel-Plated Strap: Strap is nickel-plated steel with an integral ground and oversized silver alloy contacts for long life and better heat dissipation.

Pass & Seymour PS20AC1-RPL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the red lighted toggle switch stay lit when the load is off, or only when it is on?
The PS20AC1RPL is lighted when on. The red toggle illuminates while the circuit is energized, so it reads as a status indicator for loads you cannot see from the switch location, exhaust fans, roof heaters, compressors, remote lighting. If you need a lamp that glows while the switch is off so people can find it in the dark, this is not that device.
2) Is this switch listed for commercial and institutional work?
It is cULus Listed, which covers both US and Canadian installations, and it is built as an industrial extra heavy-duty specification grade device, the grade normally called out on commercial and institutional drawings.
3) Which switch should I use if I need a pilot light but on a 3-way circuit instead of single pole?
The Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL is a single-device lighted-when-on toggle. For three-way switching with an indicator, the Leviton 1223-PLR is an extra heavy-duty industrial grade 3-way toggle switch with a pilot light, rated 20-amp 120-volt. Use the Leviton where two switch locations control the same load and the PS20AC1RPL where one location does.
4) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL lighted toggle switch?
The Bryant 4801GLI is the nearest match from another manufacturer: it is a 4-Series 20A 277V lighted AC switch, so like the PS20AC1RPL it carries an illuminated toggle for on/off status confirmation. The PS20AC1RPL is a red, matte-finish industrial extra heavy-duty specification grade switch with back and side wire terminals accepting #14 to #10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors. Confirm the toggle color and voltage of the circuit before swapping, since the Bryant is specified at 277V.
5) If I do not need the illuminated toggle, what is a plainer specification grade switch I can use instead?
The Leviton 1221-2W is an extra heavy-duty industrial specification grade SPST toggle switch rated 20A 120/277V AC, carrying the same specification grade designation as the Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL but without the lighted-when-on toggle. Choose the PS20AC1RPL where crews or staff need visible on/off status at the device, such as remote exhaust fans or equipment circuits.
6) We want the switch to be restricted so tenants cannot flip it. Is the PS20AC1RPL the right choice?
No. The Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL is a standard toggle that is lighted when on, not a key or locking device. For restricted operation, the Bryant 4802L is a 4 Series single-pole locking AC switch rated 20A 277V, and the Leviton 1221-2IL is an industrial grade locking toggle switch, SPST 1-pole, 20A 120/277V. Those locking versions control access to the circuit; the PS20AC1RPL instead gives visible status indication.
7) Will the PS20AC1RPL fit in a shallow device box?
The device measures 3.281 x 1.32 x 1.073 inches. The 1.073 inch depth with the nickel-plated steel strap keeps it shallow enough for tight boxes, and the back-wire terminals let you bring conductors in without a large side bend radius.
8) Does this Pass & Seymour switch self-ground to a metal box, or do I still need a ground wire?
An auto-ground clip assures positive ground against a grounded metal box, and there is also a standard grounding terminal on the strap. In a nonmetallic box, or wherever your inspector wants a bonding jumper landed, use the ground screw.
9) What makes a specification grade toggle switch worth it over a standard residential switch for a facility?
The build is where the money goes: a heavy-gauge one-piece copper alloy contact arm that virtually eliminates contact bounce, oversized silver alloy contacts on a nickel-plated steel strap for heat dissipation, a cam that gives fast make and positive break to cut arcing, and a glass-reinforced nylon back body. For a corridor or plant switch cycled dozens of times a day, those are the parts that fail first on a cheap device.
10) What should I order instead of the PS20AC1RPL for a three-position or center-off application?
The Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL is a single-pole style lighted toggle with a two-position action. For a center-off arrangement, such as reversing or two-speed equipment control, the Leviton 1286-W is a 20-amp DPDT center-off toggle switch in industrial/specification grade. It is not a substitute for the PS20AC1RPL in a straight lighting circuit, and it does not carry the lighted-when-on toggle.
11) Can I substitute the Bryant 9801 for the Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL?
Only if the circuit and the spec allow it. The Bryant 9801 is a BR Series 1-pole 15A 120/277V AC switch, so it is a 15-amp device, while the Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL is an industrial extra heavy-duty specification grade switch with oversized silver alloy contacts, a heavy-gauge one-piece copper alloy contact arm, and a glass-reinforced nylon back body. If the drawing calls for a 20-amp specification grade lighted switch, the Bryant 9801 is not an equivalent.
12) I need a switch and a receptacle in the same box opening. Does the PS20AC1RPL do that?
No. The Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL is a single lighted toggle switch only. For a combination device, the Eaton decorator duplex combination switch with auto-ground is a 15A commercial grade unit in white. Note the amperage and grade difference: the PS20AC1RPL is an industrial extra heavy-duty specification grade device in red with back and side wire terminals, and it also includes an auto-ground clip for positive grounding.
13) Will the red toggle on the PS20AC1RPL match standard wall plates?
It is a standard toggle configuration, so any single-gang toggle plate fits. The toggle itself is red with a matte finish, high strength thermoplastic polycarbonate with heavy-duty bumper pads for quieter throw. If you are standardizing a building and want the red reserved for emergency or process circuits, that color coding is the usual reason to pick this one.
14) What is the exact part number and where is the Pass & Seymour lighted red switch made?
Order it as PS20AC1-RPL from Pass & Seymour. Country of origin is Mexico.
15) I need a switch and receptacle in one gang instead of a single toggle. Is there an option?
A single-gang toggle like the PS20AC1-RPL will not give you a receptacle. For that opening, the Eaton decorator duplex combination switch is a commercial grade 15A device in white that combines both in one yoke.
16) Is the Bryant CSB2BW an alternative to the PS20AC1RPL for a 277V lighting circuit?
The Bryant CSB2BW is a DPA Series 1/277V wiring device switch, so it is a candidate on a 277V branch, but it is a different device family than the Pass & Seymour PS20AC1RPL, which is a cULus listed industrial extra heavy-duty specification grade toggle that is lighted when on and finished in red. If the installation depends on visible status indication at the device or on a red toggle for identification, stay with the PS20AC1RPL.
