16a High Power Panel Mount Slide Switch

Product Name: High Power Slide Power Switch (DPDT Panel Mount Type)

Product Description

This power switch is a robust and reliable solution designed for high-current electrical applications. Engineered with a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) structure, it ensures safe and efficient switching by simultaneously controlling both live and neutral lines. Unlike standard switches, this high power switch is built to handle demanding loads, making it ideal for industrial equipment, appliances, and commercial systems.

With a strong panel-mounted structure, this product provides exceptional stability during operation. Its durable construction ensures long-term performance even under continuous use. The switch offers smooth sliding action with clear tactile feedback, giving users confidence in every operation.

Although commonly categorized alongside a panel mount push switch or panel mount rocker switch, this slide switch provides enhanced control and durability for high-load environments.

Specifications

Key Features

1. High Current Capacity

This high power switch supports up to 16A, making it suitable for heavy-duty electrical applications where stable current flow is critical.

2. DPDT Dual-Pole Design
