But I do know it fit. I don’t think shop vac would design for different size switches. **Q: Is this 15a 125vac and 12a 250 vac?** A: I have a few shop Vac's in my machine shop. these switches worked great. See Shop Vac will want to sell you the whole lid motor and that was 168 bucks or more so I went shopping and found these. Thank God. Now the rubber cover will not work with these but who cares. I replaced 4 of these and all the shop Vac's are running just fine.
