Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I Industrial Extra Heavy Duty Specification Grade Toggle Switch, Ivory

The Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I is an Industrial Extra Heavy Duty Specification Grade Toggle Switch finished in Ivory, built for demanding commercial and industrial wiring applications where reliability matters most. This switch is externally screw-pressure-plate back and side wired and accepts #14 - #10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors, and it carries both cULus Listing and Federal Spec Listing for code-compliant performance on specification-driven jobs. A shallow design eases installation in crowded boxes, while the glass-reinforced nylon back body, heavy-gauge copper alloy contact arm, and nickel-plated steel strap combine to deliver long-term mechanical and electrical durability.

Key Features

  • Wiring Terminals: External screw-pressure-plate back and side wired terminals accept #14 - #10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors for flexible installation.
  • Durable Construction: Back body made of glass-reinforced nylon for long-term strength and resistance to damage.
  • Positive Grounding: Auto-ground clip assures positive ground, backed by a standard grounding terminal.
  • Shallow Design: Low-profile shallow body for ease of installation in tight wall boxes.
  • Heavy-Duty Contacts: Heavy-gauge one-piece copper alloy contact arm virtually eliminates contact bounce, paired with oversized silver alloy contacts for long life and better heat dissipation.
  • Reinforced Toggle: High strength thermoplastic polycarbonate toggle with a cam mechanism that controls fast make and positive break action to minimize arcing.
  • Quiet Operation: Heavy-duty bumper pads reduce noise during switching.
  • Strap & Locking Support: Nickel-plated steel strap with integral ground, plus locking support that resists face and back body separation.

Pass & Seymour PS20AC2-I – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire gauge does the Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I toggle switch accept, and can I back-wire it?
The PS20AC2I takes #14 to #10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors on external screw-pressure-plate terminals, and those terminals work both back and side wired. That means you can run straight conductors into the pressure plates from behind or wrap to the side screws, whichever your box layout allows. No push-in quick-connect here, so #12 branch circuit wire lands under a plate rather than a stab.
2) Will a spec grade switch like this fit in a shallow or crowded old work box?
The PS20AC2I uses a shallow, low-profile body specifically so it can go into tight wall boxes, with a stated depth of 1.073 in behind the strap. Overall it runs 3.281 in high by 1.32 in wide. In a box already full of conductors or a shallow retrofit box, that depth is the reason to pick it over a deeper industrial body.
3) Does the Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I meet Federal Spec requirements for a government job?
It is Federal Spec Listed and cULus Listed. For a government or institutional package that calls for federal specification wiring devices, that is the pairing the submittal normally asks for on a spec grade toggle switch.
4) I need a three-way switch instead of a single-pole for this circuit - what should I order?
The Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I is a specification grade toggle switch; for a three-way opening, the Eaton Arrow Hart industrial grade three-way toggle switch is rated 20A at 120/277V, and the Bryant 4903W is a 3-way AC toggle switch rated 20A 277V in commercial grade. Three-way devices require a traveler conductor, so verify the box has the extra wire before swapping.
5) I need the switch to show when the load is energized - does the PS20AC2I do that?
The Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I uses a high strength thermoplastic polycarbonate toggle with no indicator function. For a visible status device, the Leviton 1201PLC is an industrial grade pilot light toggle switch, 1-pole, 120V, and the Leviton 1221-2L is an industrial grade pilot light toggle switch rated 20A, 1-pole, 120/277V AC. Pilot light switches have their own wiring requirement for the indicator, so check the circuit before substituting.
6) Can I use the Ideal 774005 toggle switch in place of the Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I in a wall box?
No - these are different device types. The Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I is a back and side wired switch with external screw-pressure-plate terminals accepting #14 to #10 AWG copper conductors, built on a strap for wall box mounting. The Ideal Industries 774005 is a heavy-duty DPST on-off toggle switch with spade terminals, which is a panel or equipment style device rather than a strap-mounted wiring device. For a standard wall box opening, stay with a spec grade strap device such as the Leviton 1221.
7) Do I need to run a separate ground pigtail to this switch, or does it self-ground?
Both options are there. The PS20AC2I has an auto-ground clip that establishes a positive ground through a properly grounded metal box, plus a standard green grounding terminal if your inspector wants a bonding conductor landed directly on the device. The nickel-plated steel strap carries an integral ground.
8) What makes an extra heavy duty spec grade toggle switch worth it over a residential switch?
The internals are what you are paying for. A heavy-gauge one-piece copper alloy contact arm cuts contact bounce, oversized silver alloy contacts carry heat better and last longer, and a cam mechanism drives fast make and positive break so there is less arcing each throw. The back body is glass-reinforced nylon with a locking support that resists face-to-back-body separation, and bumper pads keep the throw quiet. On a corridor or shop light switched dozens of times a day, those are the parts that fail first on a cheap device.
9) Is there a version of this kind of switch with a pilot light so I can see when the load is on?
Not on the PS20AC2I. For an illuminated device, look at the Leviton 1201PLC industrial grade pilot light toggle switch, 1-pole 120V, or the Leviton 1221-2L industrial grade pilot light toggle switch at 120/277V AC, 20A, 1-pole. Those are what you want for remote mechanical rooms, exhaust fans, and anywhere the load is out of sight.
10) Which spec grade toggle switch should I standardize on across a facility that mixes 120V and 277V lighting circuits?
The Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I is a cULus listed and Federal Spec Listed industrial extra heavy duty specification grade toggle switch, which suits facilities that specify Federal Spec compliant devices. For a dual-voltage spec grade line, the Leviton 1221 is rated 20A at 120/277V and the Leviton 1221-2KL is an extra heavy-duty spec grade 1-pole at 20A, 120/277V, so a single part number can cover both circuit types. Match the device color across the facility - the Pass & Seymour here is Ivory.
11) Is there a commercial grade toggle switch I can use where extra heavy duty spec grade is more than the job needs?
Yes. Where the Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I industrial extra heavy duty specification grade switch exceeds the requirement, the Bryant 4801W 4-Series is a single-pole toggle switch rated 15A at 277V AC in white, and the Bryant 4903W is a commercial grade 3-way at 20A 277V. Step down in amperage only if the branch circuit and the spec on the drawing allow 15A devices.
12) My boxes are shallow and crowded - how does the PS20AC2I compare to other industrial grade switches on fit?
The Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I is built on a low-profile shallow body specifically to ease installation in tight wall boxes, with a product depth of 1.073 in and a glass-reinforced nylon back body. Among industrial grade alternatives, the Eaton Arrow Hart three-way at 20A 120/277V and the Leviton 1221 extra heavy-duty specification grade device cover the same circuit duty, so choose on the function and depth your box allows.
13) Will the ivory finish on this switch match the other ivory devices in my building?
The PS20AC2I is ivory with a matte finish, so it sits with standard ivory receptacles and ivory wall plates rather than the glossier older ivory devices. If your facility is standardized on white, order the white version of the device instead of mixing colors on the same wall.
14) Can I use this Pass & Seymour switch for low-voltage DC equipment control?
No. The PS20AC2I is an AC line-voltage wiring device for standard branch circuits. For a DC or equipment-level switching job with spade terminals, the Ideal Industries 774005 heavy-duty DPST on-off toggle switch is the right family of part, since it uses spade terminals rather than a wall-box strap.
15) Where is the Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I made, and what is the part number I order by?
Order it as Pass & Seymour PS20AC2I, manufacturer part number PS20AC2-I, in ivory. Country of origin is Mexico, which is the line distributors and government buyers typically need for a compliance or trade-agreement declaration.
