High amperage at 120 VAC delivers reliable control for common industrial loads, reducing the need for oversized hardware and simplifying panel design. In practice this means fewer fuses, cleaner wiring, and more predictable performance in motor starters and logic circuits. IP66 ingress protection shields the switch from dust and water spray, extending service life in washdown zones and outdoor equipment. This translates to reduced maintenance cycles and lower replacement costs in food processing, mining, and packaging lines. Through-feed wiring simplifies installation and service; a single knockout path reduces wiring errors and downtime. Combined with 1/2 inch trade size and brass construction, it supports robust sealing and long-term integrity in harsh environments. Brass body offers corrosion resistance and solid contact stability under vibration, improving reliability in equipment subject to shocks and thermal cycling. Surface mounting saves panel depth and facilitates retrofits in compact control cabinets, reducing wiring lengths and speeding commissioning. Two-pole, single throw design simplifies wiring diagrams and replacement, helping spare-part inventories stay lean and ensuring quick integration into Pauluhn-style enclosures.
