12 V red pushbutton

This switch is of the momentary type. This means it only maintains its activated position while the button is pressed. As soon as you release the button, it returns to its initial position.

The switch is designed to operate with a nominal voltage of 12V DC.

This switch can handle a maximum current of 5 amperes (A) at 12V DC.

The illuminated ring of this switch is red.

The ring light is controlled separately. It has its own connection terminals (+) and (-) for the LED power supply, allowing it to be turned on or off independently of the main switching function, or wired to illuminate when the switch is activated.

The switch's front panel has an IP67 ingress protection rating. This means it is fully protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes).

Yes, this switch is designed for marine applications. Its corrosion-resistant materials (nickel-plated brass, stainless steel) and IP67 protection rating make it suitable for nautical environments.

The switching function is of the (ON)-OFF type. This means it is normally in the "OFF" position and switches to the "ON" position (activated) as long as it is held down, then returns to "OFF" once released.

This switch is equipped with 5 connection terminals. These include terminals for the switching function (Common, Normally Open, Normally Closed) and terminals for powering the LED ring (+ and -).

For the switching function, you will use the following terminals:

C (Common): The power input terminal.NO (Normally Open): The output terminal that is connected to Common when the switch is pressed.NC (Normally Closed): The output terminal that is connected to Common when the switch is at rest (not pressed).The choice between NO and NC depends on the desired application.

The LED ring is wired separately using the dedicated terminals:

+ (LED Positive): Connect to the positive power source (12V DC).- (LED Negative): Connect to ground.Make sure to respect polarity for proper LED operation.

Although the switch has an IP67 rating on the front face, it is recommended to ensure that the rear connections are protected from excessive moisture and direct spray. Use waterproof connectors where possible and ensure all wiring complies with marine standards to prevent corrosion and short circuits.

For the switching function (terminals C, NO, NC), there is no specific polarity to respect for the current passing through the switch. However, for powering the LED ring (terminals + and -), it is imperative to respect the positive (+) and negative (-) polarity for the LED to function correctly.

No, this switch is specifically designed for 12V DC systems. Using it with 24V DC could damage the switch and its LED illumination.

No, this switch is designed for direct current (DC) applications only. It must not be used to control devices operating on alternating current (AC).

No, the switch has a maximum capacity of 5 amps. If the device you wish to control consumes more than 5 amps, you must use a relay. The switch would then activate the relay, which in turn would handle the higher load.

Yes, as a standard 12V DC switch with clear specifications, it is compatible with most marine electrical systems and equipment from other brands requiring a 12V DC momentary push-button switch.

Yes, absolutely. Due to its compact design, visible red illumination, robust construction, and IP67 protection rating, it is perfectly suited and commonly used for dashboards and control panels in boats and other marine vehicles.
