Leviton Telcom 1281-W Toggle Switch 15A Single Pole White

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 1281-W is a single-pole toggle switch rated for maintained contact operation at 15 amps. Maintained contact means the switch holds its position after actuation, either open or closed, until deliberately toggled again. This distinguishes it from momentary switches, which return to a default state on release. The 1281-W ships in a white finish and is sold as a single unit. It is a wiring device intended for use in electrical distribution, control panels, or hardware accessory applications where reliable, manual circuit switching is required. Licensed electricians and qualified wiring technicians are the primary installers.

The 1281-W suits residential and light commercial electrical applications where a compact, single-pole maintained toggle switch is needed for manual circuit control. Its 15-amp rating makes it appropriate for standard branch circuit loads. The white finish integrates cleanly with standard wall plate and enclosure hardware. It is commonly installed in panel assemblies, junction enclosures, or surface-mount wiring applications where toggle-style manual control is specified.

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 and verify zero voltage with a meter before handling any wiring connections. Confirm the switch amperage and voltage ratings match the circuit requirements before installation. Do not exceed the rated 15-amp load capacity.
