Product Overview

This commercial equipment rocker switch is a three-position ON / OFF / ON control switch for the control panels of commercial catering equipment. Using a DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw) 6-pin configuration with a centre-off position, it switches both poles and lets you select between two circuits, or isolate in the centre, with a single action. It is supplied with a waterproof protective cover. Fitted with the cover, the assembly is sealed to IP67, resisting water ingress, cooking steam, cleaning fluid splash and grease vapour — the everyday realities of a commercial kitchen environment.

Rated at 30A and 250V AC, this switch handles the current demands of high-draw commercial equipment including electric fryers, griddles, ovens and combination steamers without heat build-up or contact degradation. The integrated LED indicator operates at both 12V DC and 220V AC, giving clear visual status even in low-light kitchen conditions. This version has a Red LED, commonly used on control panels to indicate power, heating or fault status.

High-temperature resistant materials rated to T85 (operational from -25 C to +85 C) ensure the switch withstands the ambient heat of a busy commercial kitchen without deforming or losing contact integrity. The snap-in panel mounting system fits a standard 30.5 x 22mm cut-out and requires no additional hardware, making replacement straightforward for maintenance engineers.

Technical Specifications

The 6-pin DPDT layout gives a common pair with two switched outputs and a centre-off position, letting you route power to one of two circuits or isolate in the middle.

This switch suits equipment from brands including Lincat, Falcon, Parry, Blue Seal, Electrolux Professional, Hobart, Rational, Garland, Vulcan and similar commercial catering equipment manufacturers where the panel cut-out matches 30.5 x 22mm and the circuit requires a 30A 6-pin ON / OFF / ON switch. Verify your existing switch pin count (6 pins), cut-out dimensions and current rating before ordering. Not sure if this fits your equipment? Contact us with your machine make, model and existing switch part number and we will confirm compatibility before you order.

Signs You Need To Replace This Part

• The LED indicator is dim, flickering or no longer illuminates when the switch is activated
• Visible burn marks, discolouration or melting around the switch body or terminals
