The Eaton 7501W-BOX is a single-pole decorator rocker switch designed for both residential and commercial electrical installations. This switch is rated for 120/277 VAC, making it well-suited for standard household circuits and the high-voltage fluorescent lighting systems commonly found in commercial buildings.
Installation features multiple built-in conveniences. The switch includes a built-in wire stripper for #12 and #14 wire, back wire clamps on side terminals, and push-in terminals that accept #14 solid wire. Tri-combo screws accept slotted, Phillips, and Robertson head tools, ensuring compatibility across different regions. The longer, wider mounting strap provides 40 percent more contact area to the wall box, virtually eliminating floating installations.
