2-Pin Standard Rocker Switch 12.16mm x 21mm AC 240V Control +
This 2-Pin Standard Rocker Switch is a high-performance Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) power component designed for reliable "ON-OFF" switching in domestic and industrial hardware. Featuring a standardized 12.16mm x 21mm mounting profile, this switch is engineered to manage primary AC power loads up to 240V, providing a robust solution for a wide array of electrical appliances.
Key Product Features
-
Standardized Panel Footprint: The 12.16mm x 21mm chassis is designed for easy integration into standard rectangular panel cutouts, utilizing built-in lateral tension clips for a secure snap-in fit.
-
High-Voltage Reliability: Built to safely handle AC 240V domestic power, making it suitable for high-wattage devices and industrial control panels.
-
Durable 2-Pin Interface: Features two high-conductivity male spade terminals designed for fast, secure wiring with standard crimp connectors.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
� Can I use this for low-voltage DC applications? Yes. While it is rated for AC 240V, it is also compatible with low-voltage DC circuits (such as 12V or 24V). Ensure the amperage of your DC load does not exceed the switch's mechanical current limits.
Does it matter which wire goes to which pin? No. This is a simple Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) switch that acts as a bridge for a single line. You connect your power source to one pin and your device (the load) to the other; when flipped to "I", the bridge closes and the device receives power.
� Is this switch illuminated? No. This specific 2-pin model is a non-illuminated version. If you require a switch that glows when turned on, please see our 3-pin illuminated series, which requires a third connection for the internal lamp.
