Brass construction provides durability in demanding panels, resisting wear from frequent operation and rough handling. That rugged build translates to longer life in high-use control stations and reduces maintenance costs over time. Surface mounting simplifies installation by eliminating additional chassis cutouts and brackets. This approach speeds up commissioning and minimizes field errors when wiring pilot light circuits. The integrated pilot light delivers immediate status indication, improving operator awareness and troubleshooting. With a single-pole configuration, it clearly signals one control channel without complicating wiring. Rated for 15A at 120V, it supports common lighting and control loads without overloading the circuit. That electrical margin helps maintain performance in standard plant applications. Compact dimensions—2.75 in length, 4.5 in height, 1.75 in width—fit standard Pauluhn interior cutouts and panel depths. Proportional weight of about 2 lb provides sturdy actuation while keeping panel mass balanced. Compatibility with the Pauluhn 27S family means installers can reuse existing mounting footprints and harnesses. That reduces part proliferation and streamlines procurement.
