Toggle switches are essential components in the marine industry, used to control various devices on board vessels. These switches, also known as rocker switches, offer reliable and intuitive control, maintaining the selected position until further action is taken by the user.

Main features of nautical toggle switches

• Waterproof: Many toggle switches intended for marine use are designed to withstand adverse environmental conditions, with ratings such as IP56, which guarantee resistance to rain, humidity, dust and temporary immersion.
• Integrated lighting: Some models are equipped with LED indicators, making it easier to identify and use even in low light conditions.
• Various configurations: They are available in unipolar and bipolar versions, with or without automatic return, and can be powered by 12V or 24V, adapting to different on-board needs.

Rocker switches are the covers or levers of rocker switches. These components can be customized or replaced to suit the specific functions of the vessel. Rocker switches are available with symbols representing the various functions, including illuminated versions, to ensure a clean and intuitive control panel.

Tips for choosing

• Compatibility: Make sure the switch you choose is compatible with your boat's electrical system (12V or 24V).
• Waterproof: Check the IP rating to ensure resistance to marine conditions.
