Upgrade your appliance controls with the 3 Pin AC240V Oval Rocker Switch. This high-performance component is designed to provide a secure and stable power link for high-voltage applications, effectively allowing users to manage primary power circuits with a clear visual status indicator.
This switch is easily distinguished by its vibrant red illuminated actuator and unique oval housing, a standard industry identifier for modern consumer and industrial electronics. Measuring 2.8cm in length, this switch combines a sleek aesthetic with a rugged build, making it a versatile solution for kitchen appliances, power strips, and custom electronic panels.

Why are there three pins for a simple On/Off switch?
The third pin (often brass-colored) is required to complete the circuit for the internal light. One pin is for Line In, the second for Line Out, and the third for the Neutral connection.
Can I use this with 12V DC systems?
While the mechanical switch will function, the internal light is specifically designed for AC240V. Using it with 12V will result in the light failing to illuminate or being extremely dim.
Is the installation permanent?
The snap-in clips are designed for a semi-permanent, secure fit. It can be removed by compressing the clips from behind the panel if maintenance is required.
