Eaton 442-BOX T-rated Toggle Switch 6A 125V

Product Description

The EATON 442-BOX is a single-pole, T-rated toggle switch rated for 6 amps at 125 volts. T-rated switches are designed to handle tungsten filament lamp loads, which draw a high inrush current at startup — a common requirement in residential and light commercial wiring applications. This switch is intended for installation by licensed electricians working on branch circuit lighting and general-purpose load control. Its compact form factor suits standard single-gang wall box installations and is compatible with common decor and specification-grade wallplate systems.

This switch is appropriate for residential and light commercial electrical applications where tungsten lamp load control is required. T-rated toggle switches are frequently specified in retrofit and new construction projects where incandescent or halogen fixtures are still in service. The 442-BOX ships in individual box packaging, making it suitable for single-unit replacement work or low-quantity service calls.

Installation Notes
