Product Description
20A 250VAC Double Rocker Switch 6-Pin for Boiler Steam Iron
The Heavy-Duty Double Rocker Switch (6-Pin 20A 250VAC) is a dual-control electrical switch designed for compatible industrial boiler steam irons, steam generators, garment pressing machines and electrical control panels.
Its two independent rocker controls allow separate ON/OFF switching of two electrical circuits within one compact switch body. The 20A 250VAC rating makes it suitable for compatible high-load control applications when the machine’s original switch requires the same or equivalent electrical specification.
This replacement rocker switch is ideal for repairing or replacing worn, damaged, burnt or non-functioning switches used in industrial steam ironing and boiler equipment.
WHAT YOU GET
- 1 × Heavy-Duty Double Rocker Switch
- 6-pin / 6-terminal configuration
- Dual ON/OFF rocker controls
- 20A 250VAC rated switch
DOUBLE ROCKER SWITCH KEY FEATURES
Dual ON/OFF Control
Two independent rocker switches are integrated into a single housing, allowing two separate electrical circuits to be controlled from one panel location.
Typical applications may include:
- Boiler power
- Steam iron power
- Heating circuit
- Pump/control circuit
The actual function depends on the original machine wiring.
Heavy-Duty 20A 250VAC Rating
The switch is rated up to 20A at 250VAC, making it suitable for compatible industrial control applications requiring a higher current-rated rocker switch.
Always verify the actual machine load and switch specifications before installation.
6-Pin / 6-Terminal Configuration
The six-terminal arrangement provides convenient connection for compatible dual-circuit applications.
Before replacement, compare the terminal arrangement with your existing switch.
Compact Panel-Mount Design
The double rocker format combines two switches into one compact panel component, helping save space inside industrial machine control panels.
Easy Replacement
Designed as a replacement component for compatible boiler steam iron and industrial control panels where the original switch has matching dimensions, terminal configuration and electrical specifications.

WHY REPLACE YOUR BOILER ROCKER SWITCH?
A damaged rocker switch can cause:
- Intermittent power
- Loose switching
- Burnt contacts
- Switch not locking correctly
- Heating-control problems
- Boiler power interruption
- Steam iron power interruption
Replacing the defective switch with a correctly specified 20A 250VAC 6-pin double rocker switch can restore the original control function.
COMPATIBILITY CHECK
Before ordering, compare your existing switch for:
- 6 pins / 6 terminals
- 20A 250VAC rating
- Double rocker design
- Physical dimensions
- Panel cutout size
- Terminal arrangement
- Terminal spacing
- Mounting method
- Electrical function
Do not select the switch based only on appearance. The electrical rating, terminal configuration and physical dimensions must match your application.
INSTALLATION
This is a mains-voltage electrical component. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or experienced industrial-machine technician.
General replacement process:
- Disconnect the machine from mains power.
- Confirm that no electrical voltage is present.
- Allow the boiler and machine to cool completely.
- Record the original wiring before removing the old switch.
- Remove the existing rocker switch.
- Compare the replacement switch dimensions and terminals.
- Connect wires according to the original machine wiring diagram.
- Secure all terminals properly.
- Check insulation and terminal clearance.
- Mount the switch securely in the control panel.
- Restore power only after completing safety checks.
- Test both rocker functions individually.
Never connect a mains-voltage switch based only on wire colour or terminal position. Follow the original machine wiring diagram.
SAFETY INFORMATION
This switch may be used in equipment containing mains voltage and high-current heating circuits.
- Disconnect mains power before installation.
- Verify the switch rating before connection.
- Do not exceed the 20A 250VAC rating.
- Use properly rated wiring.
- Ensure terminals are securely tightened.
- Maintain proper insulation and earthing.
- Do not bypass boiler safety devices.
- Use a suitable relay or contactor when required by the machine design.
- Keep electrical components protected from direct water and steam exposure.
- Installation should be performed by a qualified technician.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a double rocker switch?
A double rocker switch contains two independent ON/OFF switches in one housing, allowing two circuits to be controlled separately.
How many pins does this switch have?
This switch has 6 pins / 6 terminals.
What is the electrical rating?
The specified rating is 20A at 250VAC.
Can I use it for an industrial steam iron?
Yes, it is suitable for compatible industrial steam iron systems requiring a 6-pin 20A 250VAC double rocker switch.
Can this switch be used for a boiler?
Yes, it can be used in a compatible boiler control panel if the original switch has matching electrical and physical specifications.
Can it control the boiler and steam iron separately?
Yes, the two rocker controls can be used for separate circuits when the machine’s wiring is designed accordingly.
