Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does DPDT ON/OFF/ON mean on a KCD4 rocker switch?
A: DPDT stands for Double Pole, Double Throw. This means the switch controls two independent circuits at the same time. The ON/OFF/ON configuration provides three positions: the first ON connects one set of outputs, OFF disconnects all circuits, and the second ON connects a different set of outputs — making it ideal for motor reversing or multi-circuit control.
Q: What panel cutout size does this KCD4 rocker switch require?
A: This KCD4 rocker switch requires a standard panel cutout of 30 × 21 mm (approximately 1.2" × 0.8"), making it compatible with the vast majority of standard KCD4 mounting holes in enclosures and control panels.
Q: Can this switch handle both 125V and 250V AC systems?
A: Yes. This KCD4 DPDT rocker switch is rated for 20A at 125V AC and 16A at 250V AC, making it suitable for both North American and international electrical systems within those rated limits.
