OEX Rocker Switch On/off Dpst 20A 12/24V 4 Blade Terminals ACX1956BL

The OEX Rocker Switch On/Off DPST is a non-illuminated switch rated at 20 amp and designed for 12V or 24V electrical systems. It uses a rocker switch action with two positions and four blade terminals, and the listed part number is ACX1956BL.

Its mounting size is stated as 20mm x 35mm, with a mount length of 34.5mm. That makes the panel opening one of the key checks before ordering, especially where the switch is going into an existing dash, console, switch bank, or accessory panel.

This is supplied as a switch, sold each, and carries a one year warranty. The combination of ON-OFF-DPST operation, 2 poles, and 4 terminals means it should be matched carefully to the intended circuit layout rather than assumed interchangeable with a standard single pole switch.

Application and Buying Notes

Before buying, check the panel cut-out and mounting space against the stated 20mm x 35mm mount size and 34.5mm mount length. A switch can look correct at a glance, but if the opening or backing clearance is different, it may not seat properly or may not retain securely.

The electrical side also matters. This OEX switch is rated at 20 amp and can be used on 12V or 24V systems, but the circuit must still be suitable for the load you intend to run. Do not exceed the stated 20 amp rating, and confirm the wiring, fuse protection, and connector style are appropriate for the job.

Because it is a DPST rocker switch with 2 poles and 4 blade terminals, it is important to confirm the terminal layout against your existing setup or wiring plan. A DPST switch is not the same as a simpler on/off switch with fewer terminals, so matching the contact arrangement is just as important as matching the physical size.

The switch is non-illuminated, so it will not provide a lamp or backlighting function. If your application relies on a lighted switch face or an indicator lamp, this unit will not replace that feature. The listed lamp colour is not applicable, which is another useful checkpoint when comparing it with an illuminated switch.

The part number ACX1956BL is the safest reference to use when cross-checking against an existing switch, stock record, or workshop order. If you are replacing a failed unit, compare the part number, mount size, voltage range, terminal count, and switch action before finalising the purchase.

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 ACX1956BL 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.

Additional published details for cross-checking include Part No. ACX1956BL, Brand OEX, Description OEX Rocker Switch On/Off DPST (Contacts Rated 20A @ 12V), Number of Terminals 4, Switch Action On - Off - DPST, Lamp Colour/s Not Applicable, Note Mount size 20mm x 35mm, Number of Positions 2, Item Type Switch.

OEX Rocker Switch On/Off DPST (Contacts Rated 20A @ 12V). Part number ACX1956BL should be checked first. Listed voltage is 12 or 24. Listed output rating is 20. These details form the core reference points used by parts interpreters when confirming the correct replacement.

For part number ACX1956BL, 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 or 24 and output 20 should be checked carefully. Incorrect selection can affect installation time, return freight, and equipment availability.

Compatibility note: Confirm compatibility using the part number ACX1956BL, the 20mm x 35mm mount size, the 34.5mm mount length, and the 2-pole 4-terminal DPST configuration before ordering.
