SLS120 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The SLS120 is a slide switch manufactured by TE Connectivity ALCOSWITCH Switches, configured as a Single Pole Double Throw (SPDT) panel mount switch rated for 500mA at 125V AC. The switch features non-shorting contact timing, standard actuator design, and solder lug termination with epoxy sealed terminals.

The SLS120 carries an obsolete product status. Identification of equivalent and substitute parts is necessary to ensure continued availability for applications requiring SPDT slide switch functionality with identical electrical and mechanical specifications.
