I need this switch for an electric power washer.
I have all the information for it as you see below.
But I still can’t get it located online where I can
get one.

If anyone is familiar with a place online,
please let me know.

It’s a simple rocker switch, it’s probably old,
the machine is old. I’d be happy to use a substitute,
but this is beyond my google skills.

I'm getting tired of plugging and un-plugging the thing. Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I browsed around on Granger and many others.

I simply could not find a switch anywhere with the european style screw terminals.
This thing has brass lugs where you stick the wires in the hole, then tighten the screw.
They're very handy and the wires have a sort of strait terminal that goes right in there.

I finally decided to buy a simple toggle switch that meets the specs, for $0.99 on ebay.
I can change the wires and install a mounting plate.

I would have been happy to buy the same switch and install it, but I gave up.
Thanks.
