Stainless steel backlit Off-On button with labels

This button is made of stainless steel, giving it excellent corrosion resistance and increased durability, particularly suited to marine environments.

Yes, this button is backlit. This feature ensures optimal visibility of the switch and its function in low-light conditions or at night, making it easier to use on board.

The button provides an Off-On toggle function. It allows for simple and direct activation or deactivation of an electrical circuit.

Yes, the button comes with a set of labels. These allow for clear and precise identification of the function associated with each switch, improving the organization of your dashboard.

Yes, the BLUE SEA 4180-BSS switch is specifically designed for marine environments. Its stainless steel construction and technical specifications are suited to harsh marine conditions, including humidity and salt exposure.

Thanks to its stainless steel construction, this button offers excellent durability and superior resistance to corrosion compared to standard plastic switches. It is designed to withstand the rigors of the marine environment over the long term.

Although designed for marine environments, this button can be used in other applications requiring a robust, backlit, corrosion-resistant switch, such as recreational vehicles or light industrial equipment.

This button is designed to operate with 12V DC (direct current) electrical systems.

The BLUE SEA 4180-BSS switch can handle a maximum current of 15 amperes (A) in direct current (DC).

No, this model is specifically designed for 12V DC systems. Using it on a 24V DC system could damage the backlight or the button itself unless additional components such as a suitable resistor (not included) are used.

Yes, you can use this button to control LED lights, provided the total load of the LEDs does not exceed the maximum current rating of 15 amperes that the button can handle.

Yes, Blue Sea Systems products are often designed to integrate seamlessly. This button, with its stainless steel design and specifications, is perfectly suited to complement other equipment from the brand on a marine dashboard.

Wiring is usually straightforward. The button has terminals for switching (input/output) and separate terminals for backlight power (positive and negative). A wiring diagram is usually provided with the product or available from the manufacturer.

The button is secured to the control panel using a mounting nut that screws into the rear of the switch body, firmly holding it in place after insertion into the mounting hole.

This button has an IP67 rating for the front face, meaning it is protected against temporary immersion and dust. It is highly resistant to water spray and humidity, making it ideal for marine applications without requiring additional front-face protection. Ensure that rear connections are also protected if they are exposed.

The backlight typically has two dedicated terminals: one for the positive power supply (usually connected to +12V DC) and one for ground (negative). These terminals are separate from the button’s switching function terminals, allowing the lighting to be controlled independently or wired to illuminate with the function.
