George Risk Industries 195-12WG-W Dpdt Wide Gap Switch

Product Description

The George Risk Industries 195-12WG-W is a double-pole double-throw (DPDT) wide gap switch finished in white. DPDT switches provide two separate switching circuits controlled by a single actuator, making them suitable for applications that require simultaneous switching of multiple circuits. The wide gap configuration is designed for installations where a larger separation between the magnet and switch is required to trigger the open or closed state. This type of surface-mount or recessed contact switch is commonly installed by electricians and security technicians in door, window, and access-point monitoring systems.

The 195-12WG-W is suited for residential and light commercial security and access control applications. Its white finish allows it to blend with standard white door and window frames, trim, and wall surfaces. The wide gap design accommodates installations where mounting tolerances are less precise or where greater magnet-to-switch distance is needed for reliable operation. This switch is typically installed on doors, windows, hatches, or cabinet panels as part of a hardwired security or building automation system.

Key Features

• DPDT configuration enables simultaneous control of two independent circuits with one actuator
• Wide gap design allows reliable actuation at greater magnet-to-switch separation distances
• White finish suits standard residential and commercial door and window installations
• Compact form factor compatible with typical surface-mount or recessed contact installations
• Sold as an individual unit for single-point replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation DPDT wide gap magnetic contact switch for use in residential and light commercial hardwired security and access control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation of magnetic contact switches is typically performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage security technicians. Disconnect and de-energize the circuit or security panel zone before wiring. Follow applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements and the panel manufacturer instructions for zone termination. Verify magnet-to-switch alignment and gap distance after mounting to confirm reliable actuation before closing the circuit.
