will an in-line 220 switch operate 110

Tags: Electrical & Lighting

Hey all...
I have located an inline thermostatic switch for use with 220 baseboard heat. Will it operate a 110 circut? I would never put 220 through a 110 rated device...but this is the other way 110 into a 220 device (just the switch the heater is 110.)
thanks so muchly!!!

Recheck the rating info on the switch. It might the MAX voltage is 220v. Most switch ratings are max limits as current and voltage unless this switch has some sort of timer in it. In that case it should work on 110v
