Heavy duty toggle switch

[shputnik]

What makes a toggle switch "industrial grade" or "heavy duty". What's a "heavy duty grade 3"

 

[hbiss]

I would imagine the ability to stand up to frequent or continuous use is one.

I doubt there is a standard. It's likely just marketing, though there is probably something about it that makes it "better" than a "standard" product that company also sells. One company's standard product may be better than another company's "heavy duty." You'll just have to research the ones you are comparing.

Just Googling your exact term makes me wonder if you are looking at this product: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Eaton-1...ation-Switch-Light-Almond-7729LA-SP/304067874

In which case I think the 3 refers to the number of switches, after "Heavy Duty Grade."

Heavier metal stampings... pressure plate terminals instead of push-ins... rated 20 amp instead of 15...

Doesn't seem to directly link. I have to copy and paste into browser. Added a CR and LF and now it links.

Generally Hubbell is good stuff.
