Spring-Wound Timer for 12-Hour Cycles

The Intermatic FD12HWC is a spring-wound timer designed for electrical control circuits that require automatic shut-off after a set period. It provides a timing range of 0 to 12 hours with a single-pole single-throw contact form. The unit carries CSA and UL listings and features a white faceplate with a plastic knob for manual setting.

Single-Gang Installation with 1 HP at 120 V

This timer fits a standard single-gang enclosure and requires no external power source for its timing mechanism. It switches loads up to 1 hp at 120 VAC or 2 hp at 240 VAC. The contacts are rated for 20 amps at 125 VAC and 10 amps at both 250 VAC and 277 VAC. Because there is no hold feature, the circuit opens automatically when the wound spring unwinds.

Ideal for Mechanical Time-Delay Needs

This device suits installers who need a simple, non-electronic delay for motors, heaters or lighting circuits within the stated horsepower and amperage limits. It is not intended for applications that require a hold function, multi-gang configurations, or timing ranges beyond 12 hours. Buyers needing electronic precision, programmable cycles or higher contact ratings should consider alternative control types.
