Product Description

The E-Switch RSC241D1B2R is an active RSC-series SPST on-off rocker switch. It has a snap-in panel-mount body, a concave black-and-white actuator and I/O power markings.

The switch is rated for 20 A at 125 VAC and 16 A at 250 VAC. It uses 0.250-inch (6.3 mm) quick-connect tabs and has a 27.20 × 12.10 mm rectangular panel cutout specification.

Swiss Boy records associate this component with legacy central vacuum switch references 170176, B-170176, 315251 and E-315251. Available evidence does not establish RSC241D1B2R as an electrically and mechanically identical replacement for those service numbers.
