3-Pin Center-OFF Rocker Switch 21mm x 12.92mm AC 240V Control +
This 3-Pin Center-OFF Rocker Switch is a specialized Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) power component designed for three-stage circuit management. Featuring an "I-O-II" actuator, this switch allows you to toggle between two separate loads or completely disconnect power in the central "O" position, making it an essential part for bidirectional or dual-mode equipment.

Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
� What is the difference between this and a standard 2-position switch? Functionality. A standard switch is either ON or OFF. This 3-pin switch adds a second "ON" stage, allowing you to choose between two different power paths (like two different speeds on a fan) while keeping the center position as a complete safety shut-off.
How do I wire this for two different devices? Connect your incoming "Hot" or "Live" wire to the center pin. Connect your first device to the top pin and your second device to the bottom pin. Flipping the switch to "I" powers the first device, "II" powers the second, and "O" turns both off.
� Is this switch illuminated? No. This specific model is a non-illuminated mechanical switch. For status-light versions, we recommend looking at our ESR-5-2X series which features translucent lighted rockers in various colors.
