Tipkalo 12 V

A momentary pushbutton switch is a type of switch that only remains in the activated position while the button is pressed. As soon as pressure is released, the switch returns to its initial position (deactivated). It is often used for functions requiring temporary activation, such as a horn or engine starter.

This switch is designed to operate with 12V DC electrical systems.

The switch features a blue ring illumination.

This switch is typically rated IP67. This means it is fully protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes). It is therefore suitable for marine environments where water exposure is frequent.

Yes, this switch from BEP is specifically designed for marine applications, thanks to its robust construction, high protection rating (typically IP67), and resistance to harsh environments.

The required mounting hole diameter for this switch is approximately 22 mm (7/8 inch). The overall dimensions of the switch will be slightly larger.

This illuminated push-button switch typically has 5 connection terminals. Two terminals are dedicated to the main circuit switching function, and three terminals are for powering the illuminated ring (one positive, one negative, and one common).

The blue ring illumination primarily serves as a visual signal. It makes it easy to identify the switch in the dark or under low-light conditions, and can also indicate the state of the circuit it controls, depending on the wiring chosen.

To connect the switch, you will need to identify the switching terminals (for the main circuit) and the power terminals for the light ring. Typically, the light ring requires a 12V DC power supply with correct polarity. A detailed wiring diagram is often provided with the product for correct installation.

Yes, the LED ring light typically requires a 12V DC power supply with correct polarity (positive and negative) to operate. The terminals are usually marked to simplify wiring.

Switches of this type are typically supplied with a wiring diagram or installation instructions to guide the user through proper electrical connections.

Installation depth and maximum panel thickness supported by the switch depend on its specific design. It is recommended to consult the product datasheet to determine the maximum compatible mounting material thickness to ensure a secure installation.

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

Yes, thanks to its momentary action, this switch is perfectly suited for controlling devices such as a horn, a bilge pump, or other accessories requiring temporary activation.

As a standard 12V push-button switch, it is compatible with any marine or automotive 12V DC electrical system requiring a momentary switch, whether BEP equipment or other brands. Its compatibility is electrical and functional in nature.

Yes, although designed for marine use, this switch can be used in other demanding environments such as recreational vehicles (RVs), off-road vehicles, or industrial applications, provided the electrical system is 12V DC and environmental conditions meet its protection rating (IP67).

No, this switch is a simple analog switching device. It is not directly compatible with CZone digital switching systems, which require specific interface modules to be integrated. However, it can be used to activate the input of a CZone module if the module is configured to accept a simple switch input.
