Product Overview

The Morris 70175 is a double‑pole double‑throw (DPDT) panel‑mount rocker switch with an On‑Off‑On action and a black actuator.

It provides six quick‑connect spade terminals for wiring and is rated for 20A at 125VAC, 10A at 250VAC, and 21A at 14VDC (general‑use rating: 16A 125VAC, 10A 277VAC) with a 3/4 HP motor load rating.

Key Features

• DPDT (double‑pole double‑throw) On‑Off‑On function
• Black rocker actuator designed for a rectangular panel cutout
• Six quick‑connect spade terminals for easy wiring
• Electrical ratings: 20A @125VAC, 10A @250VAC, 21A @14VDC; general‑use 16A @125VAC, 10A @277VAC
• Motor load rating: 3/4 HP
• UL listed

Switch function and pole/throw

The Morris 70175 is a DPDT rocker switch with an On‑Off‑On action. Each throw changes the connection state for two independent poles, allowing you to route or invert two circuits simultaneously or select between two sources/load paths with a center off position.

• Double‑pole double‑throw (DPDT) — six terminals corresponding to two common/throw sets
• On‑Off‑On action — center position is off; two alternate throws provide distinct connection paths

Electrical ratings and load limits

Use the published ratings to confirm the switch meets your current and voltage needs. Ratings differ by voltage and application type; use the appropriate rating for AC, DC, or general‑use circuits.

• Standard rating: 20A at 125VAC, 10A at 250VAC, 21A at 14VDC
• General‑use rating: 16A at 125VAC, 10A at 277VAC
• Motor load rating: 3/4 HP — applicable when switching motor loads within compatible voltage/current limits

Terminals and panel installation

The switch is a panel‑mount body with a rectangular rocker intended to snap into a matching cutout. Electrical connections are made with quick‑connect spade terminals for fast assembly or service.

• Six quick‑connect spade terminals — one set per pole/throw
• Panel installation: snap the rocker into a rectangular panel cutout (confirm panel cutout dimensions before installation)
• Wiring: crimp or use mating female spade connectors sized for the terminal tab

Typical applications

This rocker switch is intended for DP (double‑pole) on/off control and for selecting between two circuits or sources in equipment, vehicles, and machinery where the electrical ratings and motor load limits are appropriate.

• Panel control of equipment and machinery up to the stated amperage ratings
• Vehicle and auxiliary equipment control where 14VDC rating applies
• Applications requiring a center‑off selector between two circuits

Before You Order

Confirm the model number and quantity required before ordering. Verify the switch ratings, terminal style, and panel cutout dimensions are appropriate for your application.

• Confirm 20A/125VAC, 10A/250VAC, or 21A/14VDC rating matches your load requirements
• Ensure quick‑connect female terminals you plan to use match the spade tab size
• Check panel cutout shape and dimensions to confirm snap‑in fit
