This heavy-duty 6 pin rocker switch is engineered for high-performance power management in environments exposed to moisture, dust, and debris. Featuring a specialized Center-OFF function, this switch allows for three distinct operating states, making it an essential component for motor reversing or dual-circuit management.
Integrated Waterproof Cover: Equipped with a flexible, transparent silicone or rubber boot that seals the actuator against water ingress, ensuring reliable operation in marine or outdoor settings.
3-Position Center-OFF Design: Features a "I - O - II" configuration (ON-OFF-ON), providing a neutral middle position to safely cut power to all connected circuits.
High Current Rating: Built to handle demanding electrical loads up to 16A at 250V AC, providing a durable solution for high-power machinery and tools.
DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw): The 6-pin layout allows you to control two separate circuits simultaneously, making it ideal for reversing the polarity of DC motors.
Rugged Snap-In Build: Designed for fast, tool-free installation into standard rectangular panel cutouts with secure side-locking tabs.
Marine & Boating: Ideal for bilge pumps, navigation lights, and deck equipment where water exposure is a constant factor.
Industrial Controls: Used in heavy-duty machinery for motor directional control (Forward-Stop-Reverse).
Off-Road Vehicles: Perfect for winches, linear actuators, and auxiliary lighting systems in ATVs or utility trucks.
Circuitry: DPDT (6 Terminals).
Action: 3-Position Latching (ON-OFF-ON).
Protection: Waterproof Actuator Boot.
Can I use this for a 12V DC motor?
Yes. While it is rated for high-voltage AC, it is a popular choice for 12V/24V DC motor reversing applications due to its high current capacity and 6-pin DPDT layout.
Is the "Center-OFF" position momentary?
No. This is a latching switch, meaning it will stay in whichever position (I, O, or II) you press it into until you manually move it again.
How waterproof is this switch?
The external boot protects the front face of the switch from splashes and rain. For full protection, we recommend ensuring the rear terminals are also protected by a sealed enclosure.
