Feature: The 1301-73BK carries a 15A at 120V rating, making it suitable for standard residential lighting, ceiling fans, and small motor-control loads without overtaxing the circuit. Business impact: this rating reduces nuisance trips and minimizes panel wear during repetitive cycling, improving long-term reliability for critical loads. Application: ideal for retrofit projects in homes, apartments, and light-commercial spaces where space and usability matter. The device’s polycarbonate housing adds impact resistance, extending service life in busy residential environments. The result is lower replacement frequency and less downtime for critical spaces. Feature: Flush mounting delivers a low-profile installation that sits neatly in standard wall boxes and flush-face plates. Business impact: saves panel space, reduces dust intrusion, and simplifies concealment in finished enclosures. Application: well-suited for living spaces, kitchens, and utility rooms where a clean aesthetic and straightforward wiring are essential. Feature: Side and push wiring with screw terminals supports reliable terminations for #14-10 AWG conductors. Business impact: speeds up field terminations, improves pull-exit management, and minimizes rework. Application: ideal for straightforward switch legs feeding luminaires, fans, and small equipment. Feature: Broad load-type compatibility (FLR, ELV, CFL, HAL, Motor Control, Fan, MLV, LED, INC) and a polycarbonate body ensure durability and flexible deployment. Business impact: reduces SKU fragmentation, lowers inventory costs, and enhances field serviceability. Application: suitable for residential lighting, LED retrofits, and general-purpose switch deployments. Feature: Compliance and certifications include RoHS, cULus Listed, NOM, and NAFTA alignment, supporting regulatory acceptance across North America. Business impact: mitigates compliance risk, simplifies approvals, and boosts customer confidence in safety-critical installations. Application: essential for any project requiring code-compliant switches in homes, apartments, and small business facilities.
