Intermatic SW60MWK 60-Minute Spring Wound Timer – Energy-Saving Switch for Lights & Appliances

Effortless energy control with a mechanical timer

The Intermatic SW60MWK is a single-pole, single-throw timer that operates without drawing power to run. Designed to replace a standard wall switch, it automatically limits the on-time of lights, fans, motors, heaters, and other loads. The 60-minute limit helps you manage energy use while preserving the flow of daily routines. A white molded dial plate is included and is compatible with toggle or decorator style switch plates, whether in single or multi-gang configurations. No field modifications are needed to fit either plate style. The front-terminal connection and teeter-type terminals enable a quick, straightforward install, and the unit is CSA certified for added confidence in electrical compatibility and safety. In real-life settings, you’ll notice a clean, mechanical precision as the dial clicks and the circuit automatically disconnects after the set interval.
