Video Transcript for Review of JR Products Wiring Parts - Single Illuminated Rocker Switch Red Black - 37212525

Ellen : Hey everyone. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to be taking a look at the single rocker switches. Now these are available in a couple of different configurations. They're all going to have the same specs. They're going to be the same size, give you the same power ratings and everything, but they just have some different color options. So as you can see, I have an amber switch, but ones in kind of a parchment or off white backing plate.

The other ones in black will also have other colors to choose from red, blue, green, and should make it easy to color coordinate. If we've got a couple of different switches or match with our original switch, if it was something different than just your typical solid switch. The other nice thing about that being an illuminated switch is that it makes an easy visual indicator of whenever it's actually powered on.So there's going to be an extra pull back here just to power that light. This is going to be a single pole single throw so it's just going to turn one item on or off, just a really simple switch. So we can take a little closer look at these guys and see how they look side by side.

So again, as I mentioned, these two are going to be pretty much identical. Just the backing plate is different or the housing is different, but the same attachment points for our wiring. And if you compare that to the other ones, again, just that center section is all that's different.There's also a red version that has, or a red switch that has a white backing as well. So it should be an option here at etrailer.com to match up with your original switch. As far as the specs with these, the amperage rating is going to kind of vary depending on the usage.

So for a 125 volt AC, it's going to have a 16 amp rating. It can handle three quarters horsepower at 125 volts up to 250 volts AC, 12 amps at 250 volts AC and also 10 amps at 14 volts DC. As far as the size for each of these, again, identical to each other. The cut-out, so the size that this will fit into, is about nine sixteenths of an inch wide so just under a half inch, oh excuse me, just over a half inch and then about one and an eighth inch tall. There are these plugs on either side or these prongs on either side, they should have some give to help hold the tension for the switch inside.So you want to have at least an inch and an eighth for that to squeeze into.

And then the overall dimensions, it's about an inch and a quarter from outside edge to outside edge. And then just about just shy of three quarter inches wide. The height coming off of our mounting surface is going to be about three eights of an inch. If we go from where it mounts flush to the top of that switch. These are all made in the USA. They are UL, CSA, VDE and ROHS approved so basically that just means they've been tested to be up to standard and safe to use in your RV, or just about any other kind of automotive application you might have for them. That's pretty much all there is to it for our single rocker switches. I hope this video has been helpful in deciding if one of these guys is right for you. If not, we do have some other options available here at etrailer.com. So check them out. Thanks for watching..
