FAQs
For proper installation, plan flush mounting to minimize panel intrusion and ensure a clean front panel. Use back or side wiring with screw terminals and torque to 14 lbf-in to secure conductors. compatible with #14-10 AWG conductors, and observe the two-pole, 120/277 V, 20 A rating to match the control circuit requirements. This setup reduces wiring errors and improves vibration resistance in industrial environments.
The 1222RD uses a brass terminal enclosure and a polycarbonate housing, delivering robust electrical contact and structural integrity under vibration. Screw terminations provide reliable connections that resist loosening, while the flush-mount design keeps the switch firmly seated. This combination is well-suited for conveyors, presses, and other machinery where equipment experiences continuous movement.
Yes. The 1222RD lists Allowable wire size as #14-10 AWG, and it employs screw terminals for secure termination. This compatibility simplifies field wiring, reduces the risk of over- or under-sized conductors, and supports standardized control-panel wiring practices in industrial facilities.
The switch is cULus Listed and NOM certified, indicating compliance with UL and Mexican standards for electrical equipment. This enhances safety assurance, simplifies acceptance in regulated facilities, and supports cross-border manufacturing or installation projects where compliance documentation is required for panel approvals.
The 1222RD combines reliable electrical performance with straightforward installation, reducing commissioning time and field rework. Its durable polycarbonate/brass construction lowers maintenance costs and minimizes spare parts needs. The compact, flush-mount design frees panel space, enabling denser control architectures and faster deployment for machinery such as material handling, packaging lines, and automated equipment.
