SPST PUSHBUTTON SWITCH
Latch On To This
This SPST latching (push on, push off) pushbutton switch reminds CJ of a cathedral radio cabinet, which means he's no spring chicken, or else he's just nostalgic. But they are indeed pretty retro looking. Rated for 11A at 110VAC and 6A at 220VAC. A pair of right-angle quick-disconnects are on the back. Measure 1-3/8" deep x 1-1/8" wide x 1-1/2" tall with a 5/8" dia button with flattened sides. No obvious way to mount them, but a clever person will figure something out. UL.SHARE

These pushbutton switches have (8) sets of SPDT contacts and measure 2-3/8" long (not counting the button) x 1" x 5/8". The contacts for both rows, starting at the pushbutton, are normally closed; common; and normally open with (4) sets in each row. When the pushbutton is engaged, the window at the front is green. We think these were used as buss switches. Made in the USA for ITT/Schadow.
