OEX ACX1960BL 12V 20A DPST Illuminated Rocker Switch with Red LED Driving Light Symbol
The OEX ACX1960BL is a 12V illuminated rocker switch in an On/Off DPST (Double Pole Single Throw) configuration, rated at 20A per contact. Designed for driving light control and accessory switching, it features a red LED illuminated driving light symbol for easy identification in a switch panel. The DPST configuration switches both poles simultaneously, suited to circuits requiring simultaneous positive and negative switching. Mounts in a 20x35mm panel cutout with four blade terminals for direct wiring. Supplied as a single unit. Covered by a one year warranty.
Product overview
A DPST switch has two separate switching contacts that operate simultaneously with a single On/Off action, switching both the positive and negative conductors of a circuit at the same time. This provides complete circuit isolation when the switch is off a feature that single pole (SPST) switches do not provide. The ACX1960BL is rated at 20A per contact at 12V, suited to driving lights, LED light bars and other high-current accessories.
The red LED illuminates when the switch is in the On position, providing clear status indication in a multi-switch panel or in low-light driving conditions. The driving light symbol identifies the switch function at a glance without labelling. With a 20x35mm mounting hole and 34.5mm mount length, the ACX1960BL fits standard automotive switch panel cutouts used in 4WD, caravan and marine switch panels.

Frequently asked questions
What does DPST mean? DPST stands for Double Pole Single Throw. It means the switch has two separate switching contacts that operate simultaneously with a single On/Off action, allowing both the positive and negative conductors of a circuit to be switched at the same time and providing complete circuit isolation when the switch is off.
What is the difference between DPST and SPST? An SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) switch controls one conductor typically just the positive supply. A DPST switch controls two conductors simultaneously. DPST is used when complete circuit isolation is required or when switching both supply wires at once is preferred.
Does the red LED indicate the switch is on or just that power is available? The red LED illuminates when the switch is in the On position, providing a clear visual indication that the circuit is active. It is not a power-available indicator it only glows when the switch is actively switched on.
What mounting hole size does this switch require? The switch requires a 20x35mm rectangular mounting hole in the panel. Confirm your panel cutout dimensions before installing.
What terminal connections does this switch use? The switch has 4 blade terminals for direct wiring. Standard automotive blade connectors or insulated terminals suit these connections no socket is required.
