STP
The L-Series rocker switch is an innovative product offering total design flexibility, while at the same
time setting new standards for performance and reliability. Its versatile design features include a neatly
proportioned size that fits into an industry standard mounting hole of 1.734 x .867 (44.0mm x 22.0mm),
countless unique choices for ratings, circuits, colors, illuminations and laser etched legends. These single
or double pole switches also feature a broad choice of actuator styles, colors, and lenses with up to twelve
terminals offering an extensive range of switch and lamp circuit options, including LED or incandescent
illumination. Additionally, an optional plug-in terminal connector enables pre-wiring of wire harness.
