Eaton 7818K1 Industrial Toggle Switch

The Eaton 7818K1 is a DPST toggle switch rated at 40 A and 600 V AC with a 5 hp motor rating. It suits industrial control panels and heavy-duty equipment circuits that require positive on/off isolation.

Panel mounting with 2.25 in hole and screw terminals

Installation uses a standard 2.25 in diameter panel cut-out and screw terminals for secure wiring. The 0.68 in actuator length provides clear leverage, but misaligned holes or loose terminal screws are common issues that cause intermittent contact.

40 A 600 V AC switching limit

The switch handles up to 40 amperes at 600 volts AC and 5 horsepower motor loads. Circuits exceeding this current, voltage or motor rating need a higher-capacity device. No low-voltage or DC ratings are specified.
