On/Off Metal Toggle Switch AC 125V/250V — MTS-102 103 202 203

A 2 Position switch (ON-OFF) has two stable states: on and off — the most common configuration for simple power control. A 3 Position switch (ON-OFF-ON) adds a stable center position, which can serve as a center-off state or allow switching between two separate circuits. Choose 2 Position for straightforward on/off control and 3 Position when your application requires a neutral center or dual-direction switching (such as a motor reversing circuit).

3 Pin models (MTS-102, MTS-103) are SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) switches — they control one circuit at a time. 6 Pin models (MTS-202, MTS-203) are DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) switches — they control two independent circuits simultaneously with a single lever throw. Use 6 Pin when you need to switch both the live and neutral conductors together, or when controlling two separate loads at once.

These toggle switches are rated AC 125V/5A and AC 250V/2A. This means at 125V AC you can switch loads drawing up to 5 amps, and at 250V AC up to 2 amps. Do not exceed these ratings. Note that AC and DC ratings are typically different — if you plan to use these in a DC circuit, contact us to confirm the applicable DC rating before installation.

These switches are generally intended for indoor or enclosed-panel use and do not include an IP-rated weatherproof seal as standard. For outdoor or wet-location installations, we recommend mounting them inside a weatherproof enclosure rated for your environment. The optional M6 Cap provides a basic lever cover but is not a substitute for a fully sealed enclosure in exposed conditions.

MTS-series toggle switches typically require a panel mounting hole of approximately 6mm (≈1/4") in diameter. The M6 threaded bushing and included nut clamp the switch to the panel. Panel thickness compatibility is generally up to about 6mm — if your panel is thicker, contact us to confirm before ordering. Use a step drill bit or chassis punch for a clean, round cutout.

The M6 Cap is a protective cover (typically rubber or plastic) that fits over the toggle lever of MTS-series switches. It serves two purposes: it helps prevent accidental actuation of the switch, and it provides a basic barrier against dust and incidental moisture on the lever itself. It is listed as a separate variant in this product and is optional. It is particularly useful in workshop environments or anywhere unintended switching could be a concern.

Yes. The AC 125V/5A rating aligns with standard North American 120V household and light commercial circuits, and the AC 250V/2A rating covers standard European 230V circuits. Always ensure the actual load current in your application does not exceed the rated amperage for the voltage being switched. For compliance with specific electrical codes (NEC, IEC, etc.), consult a licensed electrician.
