Leviton 5601-2 Decora Rocker Single-pole Switch Brown

Product Description

The LEVITON 5601-2 is a residential-grade, single-pole Decora rocker AC quiet switch rated for 15 amps at 120/277 volts. Designed for standard single-pole switching applications, it controls a load from one location and installs in any standard Decora-style wallplate opening. The grounding feature provides a direct ground path through the device, meeting current NEC grounding requirements. The AC quiet switching mechanism reduces audible noise during operation. Finished in brown, it suits neutral or earth-tone interior wiring schemes. Licensed electricians and experienced electrical tradespeople handle typical installation in residential and light commercial settings.

This switch is suited for residential wiring projects and light commercial interior electrical work where a single-pole switching point is required. The 120/277-volt dual rating makes it usable on both standard residential 120-volt branch circuits and 277-volt commercial lighting circuits, giving it flexibility across job types. The Decora rocker form factor fits any standard Decora-style wallplate, which is widely used in new construction and renovation work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify zero voltage with a meter before handling any wiring. Single-pole switches interrupt only the ungrounded (hot) conductor. Always connect the grounding terminal to the equipment ground wire to maintain a proper ground path through the device.
