Info Request

You will need a definite purpose contactor to wire these to, do you have one and if so is the coil voltage also 120 volts?

i am not sure what a "definite purpose contactor" is, but.... There are two separate "things" that line up with the two push buttons on the cover. They look like contactors. The bottom one has red 1 and 2 terminal and there is a spring loaded button in the center that lines up with the push button on the cover. The top contactor is the same except it has green 3 and 4 terminal and its' center spring load button is green. Everything is rated for 120VAC. I would assume the contactor is as well. I am planning on connecting this to a small 120VA pump for beer and wine. So the cord will be your typical white, black and ground wires from the wall to the switch and from the switch to the pump.

Accepted Answer

Sorry for the delay. What you have is not a contactor, just momentary switches that will need to be wired to a contactor in an enclosure. I am not sure if this is a project you want ot take on, if it is I can tell you how to wire it but first you must find a suitable contactor and enclosure for it. This will cost about $50.00 and the wiring will probably take a few hours. Otherwise it would be easier to just use a standard toggle switch.
