i have a cutout from DMH.
it comes with a crappy toggle switch.
i want to change it out with a metal level style switch.
There are 6 terminals on this switch.
A need a little education on which alternative switch would suffice.

Would a 20A-125V AC/10A-277V AC/3/4 HP switch work?

Found this site. I think it has what i need.

Any help, info, recommendations appreciated.
thanks

Yes as long as the switch has at least the same amperage and voltage rating, with the 6 needed terminals..you are good to go. The link you posted appears to have several options for ya that will work.

So im just making sure im buying the right thing here.

Single pole, double throw
20A-125V AC/10A-277V AC/3/4 HP
Screw Terminals.
(# 35-130 on the website)

The right switch that has a neutral position and can be PUSHED and held ON in both directions.
This is that kind of switch?

What's 3/4 HP mean?

This should have 6 terminals, how do i know?
