Construction-grade durability is built into the Eaton 1223W with a tough polycarbonate body and a robust mounting design. This means far fewer field failures due to impact, vibration, or temperature swings common in industrial environments. The back and side wiring option plus an inclusive #14-10 AWG allowable range simplifies panel terminations and reduces rework during installs. With a 20A amperage rating and 120/277V operation, the switch handles standard industrial loads from lighting to small motors, while secure screw terminations maintain reliable connections even in dusty or oily field conditions. The two-pole, three-way configuration supports multiple wiring schemes without needing extra devices, enabling flexible panel layouts and easier future upgrades. Its compact dimensions—Wall mounting footprint and white polycarbonate housing—facilitate space-conscious retrofits and standardized control panels, boosting installation speed and reducing field service calls. Certifications cULus Listed and NOM reinforce regulatory compliance, helping teams avoid last-minute rework and accelerate approvals in regulated environments. The allowable wire size of #14-10 AWG and back/side wiring provide installers with familiar conductor ranges, cutting training time and minimizing wiring errors in high-mafety zones.

FAQs
To install the 1223W, power down the panel, remove the cover, and prepare #14-10 AWG conductors. Terminate wires into the back or side screw terminals, ensuring secure snug-tight connections per Eaton guidelines. Mount the switch on the wall in the intended location, reinsert wiring, and close the panel. Verify continuity and functionality before returning power to the circuit.
The 1223W is rated for 20A at 120/277V. It supports two poles and three-way switching, making it suitable for multi-way control of lighting or small motors in industrial panels. Use screw terminals with #14-10 AWG conductors for reliable terminations, and ensure the load does not exceed the 20A rating to maintain safe operation.
Yes. The 1223W uses a durable polycarbonate housing and back/side wiring capability designed for industrial panels. It carries cULus Listed and NOM certifications, confirming compliance with major safety and electrical standards. Its rugged construction and secure terminations help reduce field failures and maintenance in environments with dust, vibration, or moisture exposure.
The 1223W carries cULus Listed and NOM certifications, indicating compliance with U.S. and Canadian electrical safety standards (UL-family and NOM requirements). These certifications streamline regulatory approvals, lower compliance risk for panel builds, and support safe integration into industrial control systems across North American facilities.
The 1223W offers predictable performance with a 20A, 120/277V rating and universal back/side wiring, enabling faster installation and fewer part substitutions. Its durable housing reduces service calls, while standardization around a common catalog number simplifies procurement and spares, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the life of the control panel.
