FAQ

What is the difference between the 16A/250V and 20A/125V ratings?

The switch is rated for 16 A at 250 V AC, which is suitable for higher voltage, lower current applications such as lighting circuits. The 20 A rating at 125 V AC is intended for lower voltage, higher current loads like motor starters. Users should select the rating that matches their system voltage and current requirements.

Can this switch be used in outdoor panels?

Yes, the switch’s black plastic housing and metal contacts are designed to resist moisture and dust, making it suitable for outdoor or harsh indoor environments when installed in a properly sealed enclosure.

Is the switch compatible with standard DIN rail mounting?

While the switch features a 28.5 mm mounting hole for panel mounting, it can be adapted to DIN rail systems using appropriate brackets or clips, allowing flexible installation options.

What warranty does YXQ provide for this switch?

YXQ offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Customers can contact the support team for warranty claims, replacement parts, or technical assistance.

How do I wire the SPDT switch for a simple on‑off‑on circuit?

Connect the common terminal to the power source, the normally open (NO) terminal to the load you wish to activate, and the normally closed (NC) terminal to an alternate load or to disconnect the circuit when the switch is in the middle position. Refer to the wiring diagram in the product manual for detailed guidance.
