Unlike standard selector switches, the Dual Circuit design (used only on the 6010 and 55102 models) does not include a combine feature, so the positive and negative conductors of each bank stay electrically isolated at all times. This isolation is what allows the 6010 to safely disconnect the positive and negative conductors of a circuit simultaneously, something standard single-circuit selector switches should not be used for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe switch is rated for 300 amps continuous at up to 32 volts DC and uses a make-before-break contact design so power is not interrupted while switching between battery banks. Tin-plated copper terminal studs are built as a single piece with enough length to accept multiple cable connections, and the copper contacts sit inside a red plastic housing rated IP66 for protection against dust and water. The switch is ignition protected, allowing installation in the engine room of gasoline-powered boats. A tactile switch face and removable knob help the user confirm switch position by feel and support locking out the switch during service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts compact footprint supports installation in tight spaces, and it can be mounted three ways: on the surface, flush-mounted, or from the rear of a panel, making it adaptable to a range of helm and engine compartment layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sea

DC.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat color is the 6010 battery switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6010 has a red plastic housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat mounting options does the 6010 support?\u003c\/strong\u003e Three mounting methods are supported for the 6010: surface mount, flush mount, or mounting from the rear of a panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the 6010 battery switch safe to install in a gasoline engine room?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, the 6010 includes ignition protection, which allows it to be installed in the engine room of gasoline-powered boats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat material is the 6010 switch housing made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The housing is plastic with copper contacts, and the switch carries an IP66 rating for protection against dust and water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Blue Sea Systems 6010 weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6010 weighs 0.8 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the terminal studs on the 6010 made of?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6010 uses tin-plated copper terminal studs built as a single piece, sized to accept multiple cable connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the 6010 different from a Dual Circuit Plus switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6010 Dual Circuit switch keeps two battery banks fully isolated with no combine option, while a Dual Circuit Plus switch such as the 11001 can also combine battery banks to all loads and should not be used to switch positive and negative conductors simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat enclosure rating does the 6010 carry?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Blue Sea Systems 6010 carries an IP66 enclosure rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions of the 6010 battery switch?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 6010 measures 7 x 4 x 4 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blue Sea Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default
