E-Cutout Replacement Switch

[pace2006]

Could a 3 position (ON-OFF-ON) rocker switch be used in place of the momentary switch that comes with the QTP electric cutout? I can't stand the look/style of the one that comes with the unit and would like to use one that fits in with the switchplate I'm getting.

Standard QTP switch:



Replacement switch: 3 position ON-OFF-ON rocker switch

( ) Indicates momentary action.

There is a $25 minimum order required. Buy a couple just in case. Find something else you know you'll use. Like zip ties, electrical tape, etc.

Good site. Definitely better options than what my search pulled up. So I found an (ON)-OFF-(ON) round rocker switch. It's the third one down on the list of this page PN#7500023:

That should work just fine, right? And I'm trying to figure out what the different types of switches are. I got the SP/DP (single pole/double pole) part, but what's ST/DT part mean?

single throw/ double throw. Single throws are generally the usual on-off switches as they have just one throw. double throw is like what you need; on-off-on. From off, you can either throwing it up or down, hence double throw.

I've ordered those exact switches before. Perfect results from both the company and the switches.

You could always do what I did and use a convertible top switch. Works perfect, and looks stock.
