Leviton 5603-2 Decora Rocker 3-way Switch 15A Brown

Product Description

The LEVITON 5603-2 is a 15 amp, 120/277 volt Decora rocker 3-way AC quiet switch rated for residential-grade installations. It features a grounding configuration and is finished in brown to match standard Decora-style wall plates. The quiet rocker mechanism reduces audible switching noise, making it well-suited for occupied living spaces. Licensed electricians and qualified electrical contractors install this switch as part of standard branch-circuit wiring where two switch locations must control a single light or load.

This switch is designed for 3-way switching applications in residential construction and light commercial settings. It handles both 120-volt and 277-volt circuits, giving it flexibility across standard household wiring and commercial lighting circuits. Typical installations include stairwells, hallways, and large rooms where a fixture or load is controlled from two separate locations. The brown finish integrates cleanly with Decora-style decorator plates in matching brown or coordinating neutral tones.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and all applicable local codes. Always shut off the branch circuit breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized with a voltage tester before removing the existing switch or making any wire connections. In a 3-way switching configuration, a traveler wire pair runs between the two switch locations — confirm all travelers and common wires are correctly identified before terminating. Do not exceed the 15 amp or 277 volt ratings of this device.
