Meet the Jandorf 18 Amp Single Pole Momentary Appliance Switch in Black and Silver—a compact, rugged control device designed for precise, momentary power delivery in DIY projects, control panels, and appliance applications. Built for reliability, this nylon-bodied switch combines a clean, professional look with robust electrical performance that you can trust in everyday use.
Why this switch stands out
Unlike latching switches that stay on once pressed, this single pole momentary design provides instant, return-to-off action. That means you can create safe, momentary control for start/stop functions, reset operations, or momentary signaling without needing extra wiring or complex interlocks. Its durable nylon construction stands up to frequent operation in both workshop environments and finished products, while the black/silver finish offers a timeless, versatile aesthetic that blends with most panels and enclosures.
