Overview
The McGill 0140-3004 is a heavy-duty 3-pole double-throw (3PDT) manual toggle switch engineered for industrial power distribution and motor control applications. This robust unit provides dual voltage ratings—6A at 600VAC and 17A at 125-277VAC—making it ideal for multi-voltage panel designs, equipment isolation circuits, and three-phase machinery control. Silver-plated metal contacts and solder-lug termination ensure low-resistance connections and extended service life in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features
- 3-Pole Double-Throw (3PDT) Configuration—independent control of three separate circuits with common on/off switching
- Dual Voltage Ratings—6A @ 600VAC and 17A @ 125-277VAC for flexibility in mixed-voltage installations
- Manual Toggle Actuation—simple, tactile on/off operation with no electronic components
- Silver-Plated Metal Contacts—low contact resistance and extended arcing life
- Solder Lug Termination—secure permanent connections; no crimps or push-in terminals required
- Panel Mount Design—compact 1/4-40 bushing fits standard equipment enclosures and switchboards
