Heavy-duty DPDT reversing toggle, (ON)-OFF-(ON): momentary in both directions and springs back to center off. Its reversing configuration changes DC motor direction. Rated 20A at 125V AC, 10A at 277V AC and 21A at 14V DC; 1-1/2 HP at 125–250V AC. Brass screw terminals; mounts in a 1/2" hole.
Use it for: jogging DC motors forward and reverse — linear actuators, hoists, trailer jacks, dump beds, power windows and hatches — where the motor should stop when released.
Choose something else if: you need the motor to keep running — choose a latching toggle. See all toggle switches.

• Lift Platform & Tailgate Jog Control - Momentarily control hydraulic lift platforms, truck tailgates, and loading equipment where reversing motor control allows precise up/down positioning with automatic return to OFF preventing motor burnout and providing operator safety.
• DC Motor Reversing with Momentary Control - Reverse polarity for DC motors in winches, conveyors, and material handling equipment where the DPDT reversing configuration changes motor direction momentarily, with automatic return to center OFF ensuring motors stop when operator releases the toggle.
• Industrial Machinery Bidirectional Positioning - Control reversible motors, actuators, and equipment in manufacturing facilities where momentary progressive switching allows precise forward/reverse positioning and the spring return to OFF prevents accidental continuous operation.
• Marine & RV Slide-Out Positioning - Operate RV slide-out rooms, marine windlass systems, and adjustable equipment where momentary reversing motor control provides precise extend/retract positioning with automatic OFF return preventing overextension and motor damage.
• UL 94 Flame Class 94V-2 (case material flammability rating)
