FAQs
WD1222V supports back- and side-wiring using screw terminals and accepts conductors in the #14 to #10 AWG range. This configuration provides secure, vibration-resistant connections suitable for industrial panels. The terminal torque should be tightened to 14 lbf-in to maintain consistent electrical contact and prevent loosening under machinery vibration. This wiring flexibility simplifies panel layout and reduces installation time while maintaining compliance with standard electrical practices.
WD1222V is a two-pole toggle switch rated for 120/277 V, allowing control of dual circuits from a single device. This arrangement supports common control tasks in North American machinery and panels without needing separate components. For optimal performance, ensure correct wiring polarity and torque (14 lbf-in) on all terminals, and verify compatibility with your control circuit's voltage requirements.
Yes, WD1222V is designed for flush mounting, delivering a clean, low-profile interface that minimizes panel protrusion and snag hazards. This makes it ideal for front-access control stations and compact enclosures where space is at a premium. The ivory polycarbonate body enhances visibility of the switch position, aiding quick recognition and reducing operator errors in high-traffic industrial areas.
WD1222V carries cULus Listed NOM certification, indicating compliance with key North American electrical safety standards. This certification is important for risk management, regulatory acceptance, and broader market adoption in facilities that mandate certified electrical components. Relying on certified products helps ensure safer installation, consistent performance, and easier inspection by maintenance teams and authorities.
The WD1222V offers reliable, vibration-resistant screw-term connections, dual-voltage capability, and durable polycarbonate construction, all of which reduce unscheduled maintenance and replacement costs. Its flush mounting and straightforward wiring shorten commissioning time, while the brass terminal enclosure supports long-term durability. In practice, users see lower panel rework, fewer loose connections, and improved uptime in production environments.
