3-position sealed key switch

The BEP key switch is a rugged ignition switch designed for marine environments. It has three positions: Off, Ignition & Accessory, and Start, allowing you to control essential electrical functions of your engine and accessories.

This switch has three distinct positions:

Off: Cuts electrical power.Ignition & Accessory: Powers the engine ignition and accessories.Start: Engages the starter motor to crank the engine.

It is rated as waterproof because its sealed design provides optimal protection against moisture, water spray, and corrosion. This feature is crucial to ensure its longevity and reliability, especially in demanding marine environments.

This switch is specifically designed for marine environments, where water and corrosion resistance are essential. It is ideal for boats and other watercraft requiring reliable control of ignition and accessories.

This key switch is manufactured by BEP, known for its high-quality marine electrical equipment.

This contactor is compatible with a wide range of DC voltages, from 12V to 48V DC.

The switch can handle the following maximum currents:

10A at 12V DC5A at 24V DC3A at 36V DC2A at 48V DC

This switch is fitted with a Deutsch connector, known for its robustness and waterproofing, ensuring a reliable and secure electrical connection.

Yes, this switch is fully compatible with 12V DC electrical systems and can handle a maximum current of 10 amperes at this voltage.

Yes, this switch is designed to operate on 48V DC systems, supporting a maximum current of 2 amps at this voltage.

Yes, this switch is of the rotary type, meaning you turn the key to select the different positions (Off, Ignition&Accessory, Start).

Yes, this product is in stock and available for purchase.

Yes, as a key switch, it is supplied with the necessary key(s) for operation.

The Deutsch connector, thanks to its robust and watertight design, provides additional protection against water infiltration and corrosion at the electrical connection point. This enhances the overall reliability of the contactor, particularly in wet or marine environments.

Although primarily designed for engine ignition and accessories, the "Ignition&Accessory" position can be used to power other systems or accessories requiring activation after ignition, provided voltage and current specifications are met.

Installing marine electrical components like this switch requires basic knowledge of electricity and wiring. It is recommended to consult a professional if you are not sure of your skills to ensure correct and safe installation, especially due to the use of a Deutsch connector which may require specific crimping tools.
