• Electrical Specifications
• Amperage: 20 Amp
• Voltage: 120/277 VAC
• Grounding: Self-Grounding
• Dielectric Voltage: Withstands 1500V for 1 minute
• Overload UL20 Test: 100 cycles of OL at 4.8 times rated current
• Temperature Rise: Maximum 30 degrees C rise
• Endurance: 50,000 cycles minimum

Features And Benefits:

• Meet current Federal Specifications W-S-896, as verified by
Underwriters’ Laboratories, Inc.
• All toggle-actuated switches are self-grounding by means of
Groundamatic™ strap that has a permanently riveted copper alloy lip;
available with grounding screw in lieu of self-grounding strap.
• Covers color-coded for rating identification: blue for 15-amp, red
for 20-amp, green for 30-amp.
• Choice of standard toggle, lighted toggle, pilot light, key lock, or
patented tamper-resistant locking actuators; 120-277V AC, 15 or
20 amps, Single Pole, Double Pole, 3-Way and 4-Way.
• Full-rated current capacity on fluorescent, tungsten and resistive
loads; motor load capacity is up to 80% of switch current rating.
• Large silver-cadmium oxide contacts minimize pitting and welding,
thereby maximizing current flow and extending life.
• All locking switches are tamper-resistant, operable only by special
key, and also meet UL requirement that they prevent insertion of a
1/32” steel wire into the key slot to reach live electrical parts.
• Terminal screws are triple combination, straight, Philips #2,
Robertson #1, No. 8-32 for 15A and 20A brass and No. 10-32 for
30A brass, backed out and staked for rapid wiring; accept up to
#10 copper or copper clad wire.
• Deep wire wells for easy back wiring enclose conductors, help
prevent bare wire exposure, accept up to #10 copper or copper
clad wire.
• Strip gauge on back-and-side-wired switches, to help assure that
proper length of conductor is exposed for correct gripping by
clamp, without allowing any exposure of bare conductor outside of
wire well.
• All molded parts provide outstanding strength and resistance to
arcing and tracking.
• All toggle-actuated switches available in ivory, white, clear, red and
green or lighted toggles.
• Heavy duty mounting strap for maximum strength; washer-type
break-off plaster ears facilitate flush alignment in wall box.
• Plaster-cleaning captive mounting screws speed installation.
• Shallow body for easy, fast installation.
• Backed by Leviton’s Limited Ten-Year Warranty.
