Legrand 5406-BK Feed Through Cord Switch 125V 6A

Product Description

The LEGRAND 5406-BK is a heavy-duty, single-pole feed-through cord switch designed for inline on/off control of small appliances and corded devices. Rated at 125 volts and 6 amps, it uses a toggle actuator for straightforward operation and features a 1-pole contact configuration. The black body measures 1.18 inches in length by 0.8 inches in width, making it a compact solution for cord-mounted switching. It carries both UL and CSA approvals, confirming compliance with North American safety standards. Electricians, maintenance technicians, and appliance repair professionals install this type of switch as a durable, code-compliant replacement or new-installation component in corded appliance circuits.

The 5406-BK is suited for residential and light commercial appliance applications where a simple, reliable inline cord switch is required. Typical installations include table lamps, small power tools, fans, and similar corded household or workshop equipment. The toggle actuator provides tactile on/off feedback, which is important in low-visibility or high-use environments. Its compact footprint allows it to fit within standard cord assemblies without adding significant bulk to the finished installation.
