Ultimate Weather-Resistant Control: 6 Pin Waterproof Rocker Switch �
This heavy-duty 6 pin rocker switch is engineered for high-performance power management in environments exposed to moisture, dust, and debris. Featuring a specialized Center-OFF function, this switch allows for three distinct operating states, making it an essential component for motor reversing or dual-circuit management.
Key Performance Features:
-
Integrated Waterproof Cover: Equipped with a flexible, transparent silicone or rubber boot that seals the actuator against water ingress, ensuring reliable operation in marine or outdoor settings.
-
3-Position Center-OFF Design: Features a "I - O - II" configuration (ON-OFF-ON), providing a neutral middle position to safely cut power to all connected circuits.
-
High Current Rating: Built to handle demanding electrical loads up to 16A at 250V AC, providing a durable solution for high-power machinery and tools.
-
DPDT (Double Pole Double Throw): The 6-pin layout allows you to control two separate circuits simultaneously, making it ideal for reversing the polarity of DC motors.
-
Rugged Snap-In Build: Designed for fast, tool-free installation into standard rectangular panel cutouts with secure side-locking tabs.
Typical Applications
-
Marine & Boating: Ideal for bilge pumps, navigation lights, and deck equipment where water exposure is a constant factor.
-
Industrial Controls: Used in heavy-duty machinery for motor directional control (Forward-Stop-Reverse).
-
Off-Road Vehicles: Perfect for winches, linear actuators, and auxiliary lighting systems in ATVs or utility trucks.
Technical Specs:
-
� Circuitry: DPDT (6 Terminals).
-
� Action: 3-Position Latching (ON-OFF-ON).
-
� Protection: Waterproof Actuator Boot.
Top 3 Customer Questions & Concerns �
-
Can I use this for a 12V DC motor?
-
Yes. While it is rated for high-voltage AC, it is a popular choice for 12V/24V DC motor reversing applications due to its high current capacity and 6-pin DPDT layout.
-
-
Is the "Center-OFF" position momentary?
-
No. This is a latching switch, meaning it will stay in whichever position (I, O, or II) you press it into until you manually move it again.
-
-
How waterproof is this switch?
-
The external boot protects the front face of the switch from splashes and rain. For full protection, we recommend ensuring the rear terminals are also protected by a sealed enclosure.
