They have 120v toggle switches there, but the amps are what you have to be concerned about as well.

Charles LionHeart II | Sep 27, 2018

If you by chance know the wattage, then just divide the the wattage by the voltage (120v) and the answer will be your amperage.

So your motor doesn't have a spec badge on it?

Terell Bryson | Sep 27, 2018

Ok cool, it doesnt say on the motor but if it 120 v how many amps will the switch need to be to be safe?

Jim Englund | Sep 27, 2018

I agree with the amperage rating. You might check Grainger or McMaster-Carr for specs and options, then get hands on at Skycraft.

Thomas is correct, the Amp load is also important. When in doubt go with higher amperage switch. Volts will be 120v.

Very knowledgeable staff with every product you can think of. I bet you find it!!!

It's not the volts you need to worry about... it's the amps.

Eric Vey | Sep 27, 2018

I am only a customer, but if you are going to switch directly, then you need a 120v switch. Make sure the switch can handle the amperage, too.
