15 amp switch
I learned from the people of this forum that it is fine to put a 15 amp receptacle on a 20 amp circuit. Is it also to code and safety to put a 15 amp switch on a 20 amp circuit?
They sell single pole and not sure what that means vs other options.
Thank You

A 15 amp. switch is legal.
Single pole just means it will control one circut from one location.
A 3 or 4 way is meant to be used to control the circut in more then one location.
Example, a switch at the top and bottom of the stairs, a hallway where you can turn on and off the switch from both ends of the hall.
