Overview
This GE in-wall toggle switch is a basic single-pole replacement switch rated for 120 to 277VAC at 20 amps, built with a self-grounding clip and a reinforced yoke for residential and light commercial wiring jobs.
Unlike the smart switches sold alongside it, this is a mechanical toggle with no app, schedule, or voice control. The 20A, 277VAC rating is higher than a typical household 15A switch, which points to it being suited for higher-draw fixtures or commercial lighting circuits as well as bedrooms and kitchens.
- 120-277VAC, 20A single-pole switch
- Self-grounding clip
- Push-in and screw terminal wiring
- UL listed white toggle finish
Who it's for
Fits anyone replacing a worn or broken toggle switch on a standard single-pole circuit, including higher-draw commercial lighting, and does not need a neutral wire. Not for anyone wanting app, schedule, or voice control, since it has none of that.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- No neutral wire required
- 20A rating at up to 277VAC for demanding loads
- Both push-in and screw terminal wiring options
- Self-grounding clip for boxes without a ground wire
- No smart, app, or voice control features
- Wallplate not included
- No model number, description, or reviews provided in this listing
Performance notes
The switch offers both pressure-lock push-in terminals and traditional screw terminals, so it accommodates either quick push-in wiring or a more secure screw connection depending on preference. The self-grounding clip is meant to ground the switch through the metal box without a separate ground wire, and the 120-277VAC, 20A rating covers heavier lighting loads than a standard 15A residential switch.
