No, it is a manual switch that powers two outlets on the opposite side. It is designed to give dual control for two items at the same time. I use mine on my band saw to turn a work lite on and the band saw at the same time.

To answer your question directly, I don't know, however over all I have been very please with it. It functions as advertised....Craig

If you leave it on and plugged in you will be fine. The on/off switch is a toggle switch.

This is NOT a magnetic switch. I use this switch out the box for fractional hp at 120 or 220. For any application where a magnetic switch is used, this would serve to engage/disengage the magnetic switch.

The switch gets the job done for me just like I wanted it to do. The switch is full on or off not momentary

Hi, no, with 12v on the magnet is active and has force, When power is lost it demagnetize.

The motor does not need a magnetic starter and can be run right from a switch. I do not recommend a light switch though but it will work. Grizzley makes an inexpensive power switch that will handle the amperage better. I believe it is an H8239.

Sorry, I can't say. I used it for a different application. I can tell you that it's a pretty standard switch. First position is (off) 1 click clockwise is maintained switch (ignition) push in on key is a momentary switch (electric choke) further turn clockwise is another momentary switch (electric starter) ignition remains on throughout

Yes it is when used for 240v single phase. The contacts are magnetized and when power supply is lost or interrupted the contacts are returned to open position requiring you to re-engage the switch by pressing the start button. Marcus may be referring to a three phase magnetic switch which is set up differently.If you are still doubtful you can call the manufacture tech support ( I did to confirm ) Woodstock International, Inc.P.O.

It does not have a power switch. It does, however, do a fantastic job of self-powering off when I power down the computer to which it is attached. That is the primary reason I purchase Buffalo's DriveStation drives. I have only used these drives with Macintosh computers.

No it is not.. been through this myself. I needed a simple on off contact switch this one was it.

If it is plugged and power switch is on position, you have a malfunctioned devise. I recommend to ask for the waranty.

Dear customer, I am almost certain that this switch is what you will need to fix your problem. I delt with stuff for a long time, then I decided to replace this switch, now everything works well. take care and have a great day! Dave :o)

These switches are for the power connection only and have no relevance to data. The data connection does not run through these switches. Your data connection depends on the hard drive and the motherboard (or SATA card) to which they are connected.

No! One side is POWER ONLY. This is not a switch. This is for your pocket hard drive. Don't try anything else.

It's not a momentary solution. Power stays on until YOU decide to "unclick" it. It is an awesome lil gadget. I totally recommend it.

no, that would be a normally "closed" switch, these are normally "open" switches

What a stupid question! Obviously the magnet that I purchased does not have a power switch. I consider that question insult my intelligence. No I am not happy with it no I'm not going to send it back because it's more hassle than it's worth
