Cole Hersee Toggle Switch Dpdt On/on Blade Terminals 12V 25A Part No. 55018BL

The Cole Hersee toggle switch, part no. 55018BL, is a DPDT On/On switch with 6 blade terminals and silver contacts. It is rated at 25A at 12V and 12A at 24V, making it a practical option where a dual-voltage switching setup is required and the electrical load stays within those ratings.

This switch is designed with a 12mm mount diameter, a 15/32-32 threaded stem, and a 6.35mm panel thickness allowance. The handle measures 17mm, and the overall dimensions are H 34 x D 60 x W 19mm, which are useful checks when you are confirming panel space and mounting clearance before purchase.

Non-illuminated by design, the switch suits applications where a simple two-position On/On toggle action is needed rather than a lighted control. The listed one-year warranty gives a basic reference point for normal retail supply, but the key buying checks remain voltage, current rating, terminal count, and physical fit.

Application and Buying Notes

Before ordering, match the part number 55018BL and confirm the switch action is DPDT On/On. That matters because this is a two-position, six-terminal toggle and it is not the same as a single-pole or centre-off switch. The physical mounting details also need checking: 12mm mount diameter, 15/32-32 thread, 12mm stem length, and a 6.35mm panel thickness reference.

Electrical compatibility should be checked against the circuit load, not assumed from appearance. The stated rating is 25A at 12V and 12A at 24V, so the switch should only be used within those limits. If you are working on a 12/24V system, confirm the application, wiring, and accessory load before installation so the switch is matched correctly to the job.

Allow for the switch body size as well as the handle clearance. The listed dimensions are H 34 x D 60 x W 19mm, with a 17mm handle, so cramped dashboards, switch panels, and console mounts should be measured carefully. Blade terminal layout is also important, because the six-terminal DPDT arrangement needs the correct wiring plan for the intended function.

Silver contacts are listed for this switch, and it is non-illuminated. If your setup requires a lamped toggle, a centre-off position, or a different terminal arrangement, this model will not be the right choice. The safest approach is to compare the part number, terminal count, voltage rating, and panel measurements with the existing switch or the wiring diagram before fitting.

Before supply, the safest approach is to confirm the original unit details against the listed part number, voltage, output rating, mounting arrangement, and pulley configuration. That checking process is standard practice in the parts trade because visually similar units can still differ in service-critical ways.

For workshop, fleet, and equipment applications, accurate identification of part number 55018BL helps avoid unnecessary freight, additional labour, and vehicle or machine downtime. Where the application is not straightforward, the original unit, OEM reference, or workshop records should be used as the primary confirmation point.

Cole Hersee Toggle Switch DPDT On/On Blade Terminals. Part number 55018BL should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12. Listed output rating is 25. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number 55018BL, the normal identification sequence is part number, electrical rating, mounting arrangement, connector or terminal style, and pulley or drive details. Using those checkpoints helps confirm that the listed unit matches the service requirement rather than only looking similar.

For a switch in workshop, fleet, trade, agricultural, or construction service, the listed voltage 12 and output 25 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Where no verified application list is available, the part number, mounting details, connector style, and published specifications should be used as the primary selection criteria.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility by matching part no. 55018BL, the DPDT On/On action, 6 blade terminals, 12/24V voltage rating, and the 12mm mount diameter with your existing switch and panel requirements.
