Can Single Rocker Switch # 37212625 be Used with 12 Volt DC Power
Updated 09/29/2025 | Published 05/08/2025 >
Question:
Im trying to find a 12V SPDT ON ON switch to use as a3 way. Closest I can find is 37212625. That matches my other switches but its rated for 120V. I heard you cant use 120V switch for 12V DC because you will lose voltage. What are my options?

Hey Owen, actually the # 37212625 will work for you as it was designed to also work with 12 volt DC power like you have. You wouldn't have to worry about voltage loss. What will you be using the switch for?
