Description
Overview
A straight-leg toggle switch rated 10 A at 250 V AC, used as the power switch in hair dryers and small electric cookware. The range covers 3-pin XN-12-1310 plus 4-pin XN-14B and XN-14C, and the SL-401 in 4-pin or 5-pin form.
Specifications
- Rating: 10 A, 250 V AC
- Terminals: straight-leg pins
- XN-12-1310: 3-pin
- XN-14B, XN-14C: 4-pin
- SL-401: 4-pin or 5-pin
Purpose
A dryer or hotplate carries mains current through its switch, so the part must take 10 A at 250 V AC rather than a signal load. Pin counts differ because these appliances route heater and motor circuits differently inside the same handle.
Applications
- Main power switch on a dryer handle
- Heat or speed selection in a salon dryer
- On/off control on electric cookware
- Repair of small kitchen appliances
How to Use
- Count the pins on the failed switch and note the leg spacing before ordering.
- Unplug the appliance and let the heater circuit discharge.
- Label each conductor and terminal; straight legs make crossed wires easy to miss.
- Desolder the old switch, clear the mounting slot, seat the new one flat.
- Keep the work de-energised and within 10 A at 250 V AC; a heavier appliance needs a different switch.
