Red Toggle Switch for 15 A Lighting Control

This single-pole, double-throw toggle switch carries a 15 A current rating at 120/277 V AC. It is designed for standard residential or commercial lighting circuits where a momentary contact function is required. The red finish provides clear visual identification in a panel or wall box.

Thermals, Noise and Power Draw in Normal Use

The switch operates passively with no moving parts that generate heat or audible noise during typical operation. Power consumption is limited to the negligible contact resistance of the screw terminals. No active cooling or external power supply is needed for the device itself.

Back and Side Wiring with Screw Terminals

The unit accepts solid or stranded copper conductors from 14 AWG to 10 AWG using either back-wiring or side-wiring methods. Screw-terminal connections secure the wires without the need for specialised tools. The shatter-resistant and impact-resistant body helps maintain integrity during installation and long-term service.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the Hubbell HBL1556R using the back and side screw terminals with 14 to 10 AWG wire?

Strip the wire to the correct length, insert solid or stranded copper into the back-wire holes or wrap clockwise around the side screws, then tighten each terminal securely to 15 A rating.

What maintenance does the red toggle switch need over its service life?

The shatter and crack resistant body is impact resistant and UL Listed; no routine maintenance is required beyond checking terminal tightness if the circuit sees heavy cycling.

At what load does the 1/2 hp motor rating become the limiting factor during sustained use?

The switch handles 15 A resistive at 120/277 V AC, but the 1/2 horsepower rating caps motor loads, so sustained motor current above that level reaches the limit first.
