Single-Pole Push-Button Switch

The Gardner Bender GSW-24 is a nickel-plated push-button switch designed for single-pole, single-throw maintained contact operation. It suits household appliances, lamps, and lighting fixtures where a simple on-off action is required. The switch arrives with two pre-wired 6 In. stripped leads for direct connection. It is UL Listed for safety compliance.

Current Ratings and Voltage Headroom

The switch carries 10A at 125V AC and 20A at 277V AC, with additional ratings of 3A at 250V AC, 3A at 125VT, 6A at 125V AC, and 6A at 125VL. These figures cover typical residential lighting and small-appliance loads. Circuits exceeding these amperage or voltage limits will overload the contacts and create a hazard.

Wiring and Application Limits

The 6 In. wire leads restrict mounting locations to junction boxes or enclosures within that reach. The single-pole, single-throw function cannot control a load from two locations or switch separate circuits. The product carries a California Proposition 65 warning for DEHP exposure. Buyers needing three-way switching, longer leads, or higher current capacity must select a different device.

Questions about this item

Will the 10A rating at 125V AC handle the same load as my existing 6A switch?

Yes, the 10A rating at 125V AC provides higher capacity than a 6A switch for the same voltage.

How can I confirm the nickel-plated push-button switch is functioning after wiring the 6 In. leads?

Press the button; the maintained contact should keep the circuit on until pressed again, and the UL listing ensures it meets safety standards.

Does the GSW-24 include mounting hardware or only the pre-wired leads?

The switch comes with two pre-wired 6 In. stripped leads; mounting hardware is not included and must be purchased separately.
