An illuminated on/off rocker controls a circuit and lights when switched on. A separate indicator light only shows that a circuit is active. JR Products supplies both styles, plus a smaller illuminated switch, so the lens colour, DC rating and hole size matter.

Illuminated switch or indicator light?

Compare the original device's switching action and manufacturer number. On mobile, scroll the table sideways for all specifications.

MPN Device function Colour DC rating Cutout (in)
12505 Illuminated SPST on/off Red / white 10 A @ 14 VDC 1.125 × 0.550
12525 Illuminated SPST on/off Red / black 10 A @ 14 VDC 1.125 × 0.550
12555 Illuminated SPST on/off Amber / black 10 A @ 14 VDC 1.125 × 0.550
12725 Indicator lamp only Red / black 14 V indicator 1.125 × 0.550
12755 Indicator lamp only Red / white 14 V indicator 1.125 × 0.550
12765 Mini illuminated SPST on/off Red / black 15 A @ 12 VDC 0.745 × 0.500
Indicator-only is not a switch. JR 12725 and 12755 are standalone red lamps, while 12505, 12525, 12555 and mini 12765 actually open and close a circuit. The standard and mini devices also require different cutouts.

Selection and wiring checks

  1. Identify the job: a separate indicator cannot operate a load, even if its panel opening matches an on/off switch.
  2. Compare the lamp colour and switch body; 12555 is amber/black while 12505 and 12525 have red illumination.
  3. Check rear connections and the correct circuit schematic before connecting the switching or indicator terminals.
  4. Match the rated DC load: standard illuminated rockers are 10A at 14V DC, mini 12765 is 15A at 12V DC.
  5. Measure the 1.125 × 0.550-inch standard opening versus the 0.745 × 0.500-inch mini opening.
