Eaton 1224V Toggle Switch - UL 6241 05
Part Number: 1224V
Quick Summary
Eaton 1224V toggle switch is designed to deliver reliable control for industrial equipment and 120/277V circuits. Customers frequently wrestle with incompatible wiring methods and limited four-way switching options in dense control panels. This product carries UL listing and meets Federal Specification 6241-05, ensuring safety and procurement consistency. For system integrators and maintenance teams, the combination of wall-mount installation, back and side wiring, and standard #14-10 AWG leads translates to faster installs, fewer field modifications, and lower total cost of ownership. Its ivory polycarbonate body resists impact in busy environments, while the four-way, two-pole design supports complex control schemes.

FAQs
For reliable wall-mounted installation, verify the 20A rating aligns with the circuit load and use the back and side wiring method with #14-10 AWG conductors. Secure the switch to a rigid wall box or panel surface, tighten the screws to the recommended torque, and confirm correct polarity for multi-location four-way configurations. This minimizes heat buildup and ensures consistent operation.
Yes. The 1224V is rated for 120/277 V and supports back and side wiring with #14-10 AWG conductors. This wiring flexibility simplifies field terminations and accommodates common industrial feeders, reducing wiring time and panel congestion while maintaining safe, compliant connections.
In a four-way configuration, treat the device as part of a multi-location control circuit. Connect the line and load conductors to the appropriate terminals according to Eaton’s wiring diagram, ensuring travelers are routed through the four-way positions. Verify that the circuit remains within the 20A rating and use the back or side terminals as specified.
The Eaton 1224V is UL-listed and conforms to Federal Specification 6241-05, which supports procurement compliance and reduces regulatory risk. These certifications help justify performance and safety standards to stakeholders and simplify vendor qualification in regulated facilities.
With a durable polycarbonate body and screw-type connectors, maintenance needs are minimal beyond periodic visual inspection and torque verification. Plan for routine checks on wiring terminations, ensure the device remains within its electrical ratings, and replace promptly if signs of wear, arcing, or physical damage appear to maintain reliable operation.
