Common Concerns Answered
Will the 1-foot lead wire be long enough for my installation?
The 1 ft. lead is designed for common installations; however, for custom or extended panel configurations, you may need to utilize appropriate marine-grade extension wires and connectors to achieve the required length.
I need a switch that stays ON until I press it again, not just while I hold it. Is this the right switch?
This is a momentary contact switch, meaning the circuit is only active while the button is depressed. If you require a switch that remains in the ON position after being pressed, you will need to select a latching switch instead.
How durable is this switch in wet and salty conditions?
The switch features a robust IP69K waterproof rating and a premium stainless-steel plated metal button, ensuring exceptional resistance to corrosion and high-pressure water ingress, making it ideal for sustained marine use.
