The part weighs 0.08 pounds and measures 3.2 inches in length, 2.6 inches in width, and 1.5 inches in height. Electricians and control panel technicians install this type of accessory during panel builds or maintenance upgrades where operator safety and accidental-actuation prevention are required by the application or local code.
