The Wacker Neuson DPDT Rocker Switch is a genuine OEM component designed for the GS and G series portable generators, including the GS5.6A, GS4.6A, GS5.7A, GS5.5A, and GS4.6AI models. As a direct factory replacement, this switch ensures the correct double-pole double-throw switching function is fully restored without any guesswork on compatibility. Sourced directly through Wacker Neuson's authorized parts network, part number carries the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory. This is the correct part for 50Hz and standard-frequency electric-start generator variants across the GS and G series lineup.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Switching Specification — Manufactured to the exact double-pole double-throw electrical rating of the original switch, ensuring correct circuit switching behavior and consistent output control.
- Drop-In Replacement — Matches the original mounting footprint, terminal layout, and connector configuration for straightforward installation in GS and G series control panels.
- Broad GS and G Series Compatibility — Fits GS5.6A, GS4.6A, GS4.6AE, GS5.7A, GS5.7AE, GS5.7AI, GS5.5A, GS4.6AI, G5.7A, G5.7AE, and related 50Hz and electric-start variants.
- Restores Full Electrical Control — A failed or worn rocker switch can prevent the generator from starting, switching output modes, or responding to operator input; replacing it with part 5000087078 restores normal panel operation.
- Electrical Safety Compliance — Using the correct OEM-rated switch maintains the designed current and voltage handling capacity of the generator's control circuit, preventing overheating or arcing at the switch position.
The DPDT (double-pole double-throw) rocker switch controls two separate electrical circuits simultaneously, allowing the operator to redirect current flow between positions with a single switching action. In a portable generator, this type of switch is commonly used to manage key panel functions such as output selection or mode switching. When this switch degrades or fails, the generator may become unresponsive to operator input at the control panel, or may lose the ability to route power correctly — making prompt replacement essential to safe and reliable operation.
