Marine Rocker Switch SPDT 12V 5A Black

This marine rocker switch provides single-pole double-throw control for 12-volt DC circuits. It is built for boat owners and marine electricians who need reliable switching for bilge pumps or horns. The momentary on/off/on function suits applications requiring temporary activation from a centre-off position.

Thermals Noise Power Draw

The switch carries a DC contact rating of 5 A at 12 V for standard electrical loads. It operates across a temperature range of 32 to 100 degrees F without derating. No active cooling or acoustic signature exists because the device is a passive electromechanical component.

Replaces Upgrades From

This unit replaces a worn or corroded SPDT rocker switch in an existing 0.875 in by 1.500 in panel cut-out. The 0.250 in quick-connect tabs allow direct wire transfer without soldering. The upgrade is worthwhile when the original switch fails to make clean contact or its sealing has degraded.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the .250 in quick-connect tabs on this SPDT rocker switch?

Crimp female quick-disconnect terminals onto each wire, then push them firmly onto the three .250 in tabs — common in the centre, momentary on at each end — so the switch returns to centre-off when released.

What maintenance does the marine rocker switch need over time?

Inspect the three quick-connect tabs and wiring for corrosion every season; if terminals show green oxidation or the switch feels gritty between the momentary on/off/on positions, replace the entire unit.

At what temperature does the switch reach its operating limit during sustained use?

The switch is rated for continuous operation up to 100 Degrees F; above that the internal contacts can overheat at the 5 A 12 V DC rating.
