IP66 ingress protection delivers rugged dust and water resistance, reducing field failures and maintenance costs while enabling outdoor or demanding indoor installations. This directly translates to increased uptime for critical control circuits and signaling in harsh environments. The brass enclosure enhances durability and corrosion resistance, supporting longer service life in coastal or washdown areas, and improving total cost of ownership over time. Brass construction also provides excellent EMI shielding and a solid enclosure for sensitive wiring, which reduces interference-related faults in complex industrial panels. The square, surface-mount design simplifies installation in tight spaces, aligning with standard mounting footprints and reducing cabinet rework during retrofits. The 10A/20A amperage rating and 1.5 hp horsepower capability cover a wide range of small-to-medium control applications, while the 125/250 Vac voltage rating ensures compatibility with typical plant controls. The three-way toggle switch adds straightforward local control, minimizing wiring complexity and commissioning time. Finally, the Pauluhn TG series heritage delivers proven performance in non-hazardous locations, supporting familiar maintenance routines and spare-part availability across industrial facilities.
