OEX ACX1971BL 12V 30A SPST Illuminated On/Off Rocker Switch Red LED 12mm Round Panel Mount 3 Blade Terminals
The OEX ACX1971BL is a 12V red illuminated On/Off SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) rocker switch rated at 30A, with a 12mm round mounting hole. The red LED illuminates when the switch is in the On position, providing clear status indication in a switch panel or console. Three blade terminals accommodate the separate illumination circuit alongside the switching circuit. Supplied as a single unit. Covered by a one year warranty.
Product overview
The ACX1971BL is the illuminated version of the non-illuminated ACX1969BL, sharing the same 12mm round mounting hole, 30A current rating and SPST On/Off configuration but adding a red LED for on/off status indication and a third terminal for the illumination circuit. The third terminal powers the LED independently of the main switching circuit, allowing the LED to be connected to a constant 12V supply for status indication. The red LED glows when the switch is in the On position, providing clear visual feedback in a multi-switch panel or console in low-light conditions.
At 30A the ACX1971BL handles driving lights, LED light bars and higher-current accessories directly. For loads exceeding 30A, the switch should be used to trigger a relay. The 12mm round mounting hole suits standard 12mm switch panel cutouts in aftermarket switch panels and consoles.
Features and benefits
30A at 12V: Suited to driving lights, LED light bars and higher-current 12V accessories drawing up to 30A. For loads exceeding 30A, use the switch to trigger a relay.
SPST On/Off configuration: Single pole single throw switching with one input and one output for straightforward accessory on/off control.
Red LED illuminated: Glows when the switch is in the On position for clear status indication in switch panels and consoles in low-light conditions.
3 blade terminals: Separate connections for the switching circuit (2 terminals) and the LED illumination circuit (1 terminal), allowing the LED to be powered from a constant 12V supply.
12mm round mounting hole: Fits standard 12mm round switch panel cutouts in aftermarket switch panels and consoles the same cutout size as the non-illuminated ACX1969BL.
Single unit: For individual panel installation.
One year warranty: Covered by a one year OEX warranty.

Frequently asked questions
Why does this switch have 3 terminals instead of 2? The third terminal is for the LED illumination circuit. A non-illuminated SPST switch uses only 2 terminals (input and output). The illuminated version adds a third terminal to power the LED independently of the main switching circuit, allowing the LED to be connected to a constant 12V supply for on/off status indication.
What does SPST mean? SPST stands for Single Pole Single Throw the simplest switch configuration with one input and one output. It either connects or disconnects a single circuit conductor and is the standard configuration for basic On/Off accessory control.
What mounting hole does this switch require? The switch requires a 12mm round hole, compatible with standard 12mm round switch panel cutouts and aftermarket switch consoles.
How does this differ from the non-illuminated ACX1969BL? Both the ACX1971BL and ACX1969BL use a 12mm round mounting hole and are rated at 30A SPST. The ACX1971BL adds a red LED indicator and a third terminal for the illumination circuit. Select the ACX1971BL when visual on/off status indication is needed, and the ACX1969BL when no LED is required.
What is the maximum current this switch can handle? This switch is rated at 30A at 12V. For loads exceeding 30A, use the switch to trigger a relay rather than wiring the load directly through the switch.
