OEX ACX1973BL 12V 30A SPST Illuminated On/Off Rocker Switch Blue LED 12mm Round Panel Mount 3 Blade Terminals
The OEX ACX1973BL is a 12V blue illuminated On/Off SPST (Single Pole Single Throw) rocker switch rated at 30A, with a 12mm round mounting hole. The blue 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 ACX1973BL shares identical specifications to the red illuminated ACX1971BL SPST On/Off, 30A, 12V, 12mm round mounting hole, 3 blade terminals differing only in LED colour. The blue LED suits panels with a blue illumination scheme or where colour coding of switch functions is preferred. 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 blue LED glows when the switch is in the On position for clear visual feedback in a multi-switch panel or console in low-light conditions.
At 30A the ACX1973BL 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.

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 red illuminated ACX1971BL? The ACX1971BL and ACX1973BL are identical in all specifications SPST On/Off, 30A, 12V, 12mm round mount, 3 terminals. The only difference is LED colour: the ACX1971BL has a red LED and the ACX1973BL has a blue LED. Select based on your panel's colour scheme or preference.
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.
