Eaton 1301-7LA-SPL Toggle Switch - cULus Listed

The 1301-7LA-SPL delivers a reliable 15A at 120V, single-pole control suitable for residential lighting and small motor loads. Its broad load compatibility includes CFL, LED, incandescent, and motor-control applications, enabling electricians to standardize on a single device across multiple rooms and fixtures. This reduces procurement complexity and helps maintain consistent performance, improving on-site efficiency and reducing call-backs due to incompatible hardware in standard residential circuits. Constructed from durable polycarbonate in a light almond finish, the switch combines aesthetic compatibility with rugged performance. Flush mounting and a compact footprint simplify wall integration in standard boxes, while side and push wiring with screw terminals accommodate #14–10 AWG conductors and a 14 lbf-in torque rating. This yields a tidy, secure installation that minimizes panel flex and contact resistance. RoHS compliance, NAFTA alignment, and NOM cULus listings provide confidence for code compliance, cross-border procurement, and supplier qualification. The device’s plastic construction resists cracking in typical wall environments and its 1.31 in depth keeps clearance for wiring, ensuring compatibility with legacy wall plates and contemporary decorator styles. Industry context and practical insights: In both residential and light commercial projects, electricians appreciate the device’s compatibility with a wide load spectrum and its reliable torque for term tightening. With 120V circuits common in homes, specifying this Eaton switch ensures uniform performance across fixtures, reduces replacement cycles, and supports energy management when used with LED retrofits, fans, and motorized accessories. Installation efficiency and maintenance considerations: The screw terminal connectors and side/push wiring simplify field connections, enabling faster terminations and fewer rework iterations. The flush mounting eliminates protrusions that can snag in busy maintenance workflows, while NOM and UL listings help avoid regulatory delays. The result is lower labor costs, quicker project turnover, and improved reliability for service calls. Bottom line: The Eaton 1301-7LA-SPL offers a robust, code-ready solution for residential electrical protection and circuit control.
