Leviton 5621-2W 20A Single-pole Decora Rocker Switch White

Product Description

The LEVITON 5621-2W is a 20-amp, single-pole, AC quiet rocker switch designed for commercial and industrial electrical installations. Rated for 120/277 volts, it fits both standard branch circuits and higher-voltage lighting circuits common in commercial buildings. The Decora Plus rocker format provides a flush, low-profile appearance compatible with Decora-style wallplates. Self-grounding construction simplifies installation, and back-side wiring terminals accept conductors without the need for side-wired connections. Licensed electricians install this switch in offices, retail spaces, schools, and similar commercial occupancies where a spec-grade device is required.

This switch is suited for single-pole lighting control in commercial and light industrial applications operating at 120 volts or 277 volts. The 277-volt rating makes it appropriate for fluorescent and LED lighting circuits fed directly from a 480Y/277-volt distribution panel, which is a common configuration in commercial construction. The quiet rocker mechanism reduces audible switching noise, making it a practical choice for occupied spaces such as classrooms, conference rooms, and medical offices. Finished in white, it coordinates with standard commercial wallplate systems.

Key Features

• 20-amp rating supports high-load commercial lighting circuits
• Dual voltage rating of 120/277 volts covers both residential and commercial panel configurations
• AC quiet rocker mechanism minimizes switching noise in occupied spaces
• Self-grounding design reduces installation steps and supports code-compliant grounding
• Back-side wired terminals for clean, consistent wiring termination
• Commercial spec grade construction for durability in high-use environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation single-pole rocker switch for commercial-grade electrical systems requiring a 20-amp, 120/277-volt AC quiet switch in a Decora form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit at the breaker panel and verify with a non-contact voltage tester before beginning work. Back-wire terminals should be torqued per the terminal manufacturer markings; do not exceed the conductor size rating printed on the device. Verify the wallplate selected is compatible with the Decora rocker format before finalizing the installation.
