Product Description

The EATON 1301-7W is a 15 amp, single-pole grounding toggle switch rated for 120 volts AC and designed for residential and light commercial wiring applications. Built with an industrial cam action mechanism, it delivers quiet, reliable switching performance with each operation. The switch features both side and push-in wiring options, making it adaptable to a variety of rough-in conditions. Rated for motor loads up to 1/2 horsepower, it handles standard wall switch applications including lighting and fan circuits. The white finish suits standard decorator and contractor-grade wallplate installations. cUL and UL listed for code compliance.

This switch is suited for single-pole lighting control circuits in residential construction, renovation work, and commercial tenant improvements. The grounding feature supports installations where a ground wire is present, helping to maintain circuit integrity. Electricians working on 15 amp, 120 volt branch circuits will find the side and push wiring options reduce termination time. The cam mechanism virtually eliminates floating or spongy toggle feel common in lower-grade devices, resulting in a more consistent feel over the life of the switch.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. Always turn off and lock out the branch circuit breaker before beginning any wiring work. Confirm the box is de-energized with a non-contact voltage tester before making any connections. Both side-wiring and push-in terminals are available, but side-screw terminations are generally preferred for long-term reliability in commercial applications.
