Can this switch DC load?

Hi friend,this switch is applicable for both AC and DC,hope could help you.:)Have a nice day!Best Regards

It should be able to handle it. The "off" position would be in the middle. You could gang the switches together (in parallel) that would double the current capacity to 40 amps.

I would not recommend doing that because of the current load. The switch has a 10 amp (PEAK) rating. I would not recommend using it for more than 5 amperes of continuous current, more than that for any lengthy duration would likely increase risk for breakdown and potential fire. If you are using it for very low power devices, you could do that, but I would check the current rating of everything you daisy-chain from it very carefully before doing that.

It can work with AC or DC - 12 volts. I'm using it to switch 12V DC lights.

That is a good question. I don't know. Since there is no direct power connection back to the switch, I am not sure how it could (unless the wall switch acts as a purely mechanical switch when the power is out. In that case, there should be no problem. I am going to go home and unplug my backup to see if it works.

The proper way of wiring this switch and if it needed AC or DC was confusing to me as well. Here's a good picture showing how to wire it with DC: https://www.greenlivingforu.com/sites/default/files/100_2488.JPG

Only if your dc/ac converter is of the "pure sign wave type" and of sufficient capacity to handle the cyber power startup and load requirements

Yes, but its not recommended! To secure normal electricity flow, better use normal switch

Yes. Select either up to 40A or 400A by rotary switch. Defaults to DC measurements.

The DC input is 3.5mm. The AC adapter if wanted (not needed) to be used for the switch would have to be 3.5mm.

No, This is for a 12v - 24v application. The body of the switch could easily end up carrying current. The terminals are for soldering.

I think the DC cord is detachable, can't remember if it in the way of the switch though.

The switch is designed to reverse polarity for direct current....such as a twelve volt system....what are you working on?

Yes just ground the black wire to a negative wire or grounded source. Run the red or positive wire from your dc source and through the single toggle switch. Just be sure to use a fused source that is low amps because the light has small gauge wires. 5 amps would my choice of fuse size

Yes as long as you put only 110-120 volts & no more than 15 amps. The output is only 15 amps from the switch.

yes, place load on center conncetions and power in on outer connection (under on position) then run 2 wires from that connection to the other side (under on position ) but cross wires, this will change the positive and negative wires for dc loads like a motor. This will only work for DC not AC.switch connectorson - 1 2off - 3 4on - 5 6hook load to 3 and 4power into 1 and 2power in from 1 connects to 6and power from 2 connects to 5giving you reverse polarity when switched from one postion ON to the other Position ON.

The input power on this model is 12VDC but the contacts, the switch, is rated for any voltage up to 16A@ 240VAC. It will aslo handle a 12VDC load on the switch though no amperage rating is givien.
