Locking mechanism: The built-in locking feature ensures only authorized re-energization, reducing the risk of accidental starts that could endanger personnel. This translates to safer maintenance windows and compliant lockout/tagout workflows in automated lines. Electrical ratings and wiring compatibility: With 15A at 120/277V and back‑and‑side wiring for #14‑10 AWG conductors, the AH1201L supports common industrial circuits without invasive rework. The business impact is faster, error‑free panel wiring and reduced field rewiring costs. Physical design and durability: Urea material, brown color, and compact dimensions (3.28 in high, 1.05 in wide, 1.31 in deep) offer robust duty and easy identification in crowded control stations. The torque rating of 14 lbf‑in helps ensure secure terminations, minimizing loosening risks over time. Compliance and reliability: NAFTA compliance and cULus Listed UL Recognized certification provide regulatory assurance and supplier reliability for multinational installations. This reduces audit findings and simplifies procurement across plants. Installation and maintenance advantages: Back‑ and side‑wired configuration supports flexible mounting; the key actuator enables controlled access in high‑risk environments. This improves installation speed and reduces downtime during panel changes and routine servicing.
