Copper-free aluminum construction reduces weight and corrosion risk while preserving mechanical strength, enabling easier handling during installation and long-term durability in demanding environments. The 20A, 277 VAC rating provides robust compatibility with standard lighting and control circuits, ensuring reliable operation without overdesign or wasted headroom. Surface mounting simplifies retrofits and new installations alike, cutting install time and enabling flatter panel profiles in confined electrical enclosures. The dead-end entry feature enables clean, secure wiring that minimizes termination errors and accelerates serviceability, reducing labor costs during commissioning and maintenance. The 3/4 inch trade size fits common cutouts, easing compatibility with legacy panels and spare-part inventories, while maintaining a compact footprint for space-constrained installations. One three-way switch configuration reduces component count and simplifies wiring schemes, improving reliability and reducing field wiring errors.
