883498

Switch and Triac (120 Volt)

Part Number: 883498
Availability: Discontinued


This part is no longer available from the manufacturer.
Description:
This Trigger switch has 3 wires connected to a triac (also called a heat sink). This genuine Porter Cable replacement part is sold individually.
Switches are commonly replaced parts in power tools. A switch handles on/off and variable speed functions. They also have a role in electric breaking; they can momentarily reverse electrical polarity. Because switches use mechanical internals, they will degrade and wear out over time, eventually requiring replacement. Some common signs of a broken or failing switch are:
  • The tool has completely stopped functioning – it will not turn on.
  • The tool operates intermittently, requiring multiple tries to turn on, until eventually it won’t turn on at all.
  • The variable speed function and electric braking aren’t working properly.

    Hello coolman1,

    Below is a list of the tools that the 883468 switch is used in. If one of them is the model number of your saw then it will work just fine.

    Hope this helps,
    -WJA
