Inline Cord Switch - Heavy Duty (up to 10 amps) Rocker Switch, (on/off snap toggle)
Authentic Vintage Design - Made in USA
Recommended for use with our Round 3-wire cloth covered cords (or any round 16-18 gauge cord). The opening in these is circular and will fit round cord best, although 2-wire twisted cords and parallel (flat cords) will still work, there will just be more room around the opening.
This black inline rocker switch is heavy duty in terms of how much current it can handle, (but no larger than our other switches!), and looks great on all kinds of lamps, lighting, fans or radios, and a variety of other small appliances! Great vintage design, you'll have a hard time telling this is a modern production heavy duty cord switch and not something right off of Edison's workbench!
Feed through switches are easy to work with: The shell unscrews with 2 screws. Your cord (make sure you have no power going to it!) will have 2 wires, the "neutral" wire will bypass the switch, just run it along the space in the bottom. Cut your "hot" wire in half, strip your ends (we recommend a small piece of electrical tape when using our cloth wire), and attach one end of your "hot" wire to one screw terminal, and attach the other end to the other. Done: lights on, lights off!
This listing is for the black inline rocker switch only (a quantity of 1 = 1 switch!!! Wire shown as an example, can be purchased separately!!!)
