This 3-pin industrial toggle switch is engineered for applications requiring high-amperage temporary circuit activation from a central neutral position. Featuring a Double Spring Return, the lever automatically snaps back to the Center-OFF position from either direction, providing a high level of safety and tactile accuracy for critical machinery operations.
Dual Momentary (ON)-OFF-(ON) Action: The switch remains active only while held in either the "up" or "down" position, instantly returning to "OFF" when released.
Heavy-Duty 15A Capacity: Rated for 15A 250VAC, making it robust enough for medium-to-heavy industrial electrical loads.
SPDT 3-Terminal Configuration: Equipped with three secure screw terminals for Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) applications, allowing for the control of two separate functions or motor directions.
Industrial-Grade Build: Features a heat-resistant burgundy thermoset body and a reinforced metal mounting frame designed to withstand high-cycle commercial use.
Complete Hardware Kit: Comes with a high-contrast "ON-OFF-ON" status plate, hex mounting nut, and locking washer for a vibration-proof panel installation.
Winch and Hoist Control: Ideal for "In/Out" or "Up/Down" movements where the motor must stop immediately for safety upon lever release.
Motor Jogging/Inching: Perfect for industrial machinery requiring tiny, precise movements for material alignment or calibration.
Automotive Hydraulics: Used for temporary activation of lift gates, hydraulic pumps, or pneumatic valves in service vehicles.
Electrical Rating: 15A 250VAC.
Circuitry: SPDT (3 Pins).
Switching Action: Momentary (ON) - Center OFF - Momentary (ON).
Terminal Type: 3 x Industrial Screw Terminals.
Will this switch "lock" into the ON position?
No. This is a full momentary switch. It will always return to the center "OFF" position regardless of which side you push it toward.
Can I use this for DC motor direction reversal?
Yes. For small DC motors, this 3-pin SPDT switch can be wired to flip polarity, provided the amperage stays within its 15A rating.
Is it safe for 12V or 24V vehicle systems?
Absolutely. While rated at 250V AC, its high-quality internal contacts are frequently used in 12V/24V DC automotive and marine control panels.
