Wiring A Single Pole Switch With Outlet. In this diagram 2 wire cable runs between sw1 and the outlet. Either 14 2 with ground wg for 15 amp circuits or 12 2wg for 20 amp circuits.
Here a receptacle outlet is controlled with a single pole switch. Alternatively you can wire the switch up in such a way that only that single outlet will be controlled by the switch but other outlets in the circuit will still stay powered on constantly. Bend the ends of the wire into a half moon shape to go around the screws.
To connect the switches simply score the wire with your wire stripper and push the insulation to expose about 3 4 in.
Wiring a switch to a wall outlet. Wires from different cb while the outlet is connected to the second source. The same wiring diagram can be used if the power is instead coming from another outlet and connected to one of the depicted outlets on the end. The second terminal of switch then connected back to the brass terminal of outlet.
