Ideal Industries 774056 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does DPST mean on the Ideal Industries 774056 rocker switch, and when do I need it instead of a single-pole switch?
DPST is double-pole, single-throw: the Ideal 774056 rocker breaks two circuit legs at once in a single on-off action. Use it when you need both sides of a circuit opened for full isolation, such as switching both hot and neutral on a piece of equipment or both legs of a two-wire DC supply. A single-pole switch only interrupts one leg, which leaves the equipment still connected on the other side. The 774056 is on-off only, so there is no second position, no center off, and no momentary action.
2) Can I use the Ideal 774056 lighted rocker switch outdoors or in an unheated space?
Watch the low end of the temperature range. The 774056 is rated 32 degrees F to 185 degrees F (0 to 85 degrees C), so it stops at freezing. In an unheated garage, trailer, walk-in cooler or exterior panel that drops below 32 F, it is outside its rated range. It is built with moisture- and dust-resistant construction, which covers washdown areas, engine compartments and marine cockpits, but that protection does not extend the cold rating.
3) How do the wires connect to the Ideal 774056 rocker switch - screws or push-on terminals?
Spade terminals. The 774056 uses flat blade tabs that take push-on female spade connectors, so you crimp the connector onto the wire and slide it over the tab rather than landing a wire under a screw. Plan on having crimp spade connectors and a crimp tool on the truck; no screws, no ring terminals, and no wire leads come attached.
4) Does the red light on this Ideal rocker switch stay lit all the time or only when the switch is on?
The red indicator on the 774056 is there to show operational status, so it reads out switch position, lighting to signal the circuit is energized and the switch is in the on position. That is what makes it useful on a control panel or a piece of equipment where the machine itself is out of sight and the operator needs confirmation the circuit is live.
5) Is the Ideal 774056 DPST rocker switch suitable for a marine or automotive 12V DC application?
Yes. Automotive control systems, marine electronics and low-voltage DC applications are among the uses this switch is built for, and the moisture- and dust-resistant body suits a boat helm or an engine bay. The DPST arrangement lets you break both the positive and negative legs of a DC circuit in one motion, which is what you want on a battery-fed accessory where leaving a leg connected can backfeed through a ground path.
6) What is the Ideal Industries part number for this red lighted DPST on-off rocker switch?
Order it as Ideal Industries 774056. That is the single model covered, a DPST on-off rocker with a red light indicator and spade terminals, so there are no finish, color or terminal variations to specify alongside it.
7) I need a lighted rocker for an equipment control panel - is this one a panel-mount switch?
Yes, control panel integration and equipment status indication are among the intended uses of the Ideal 774056. It is a rocker body with push-on spade tabs behind it, so it drops into a panel cutout and wires up from the back without needing room for a screwdriver on the terminals, which matters in a crowded enclosure. The red indicator does double duty as a run light on the panel face.
