Key Features
- Wiring Method: External screw-pressure-plate back and side wired construction accepts #14 - #10 AWG copper or copper-clad conductors for flexible, secure terminations.
- High-Strength Toggle: High strength thermoplastic polycarbonate toggle stands up to repeated heavy-duty operation.
- Fast Cam Action: Cam controls a fast "make" and positive "break" to help minimize arcing during switching.
- Durable Strap: Nickel-plated steel strap with integral ground supports reliable grounding and long-term corrosion resistance.
- Heavy-Gauge Contact Arm: One-piece copper alloy contact arm virtually eliminates contact bounce for consistent switching performance.
- Reinforced Back Body: Back body made of glass-reinforced nylon adds structural strength and heat resistance.
- Oversized Silver Alloy Contacts: Oversized silver alloy contacts extend contact life and improve heat dissipation.
- Quiet, Secure Design: Heavy-duty bumper pads enable quiet operation, while locking support resists face and back body separation; an auto-ground clip assures positive grounding, and a grounding terminal is standard. The shallow design also eases installation.
