It uses an SPDT (On)-Off-On configuration, meaning the rocker springs back to the center Off position from either momentary On side rather than latching -- a design commonly used for functions like windshield wipers, trim tabs, and other controls that need a momentary command in either direction. The switch includes a single LED that illuminates in the ON position, giving the operator a clear visual indicator of switch state at a glance, even in bright daylight or low light at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt in black plastic with bronze contacts and screw terminals, the switch is rated for vibration, shock, thermoshock, moisture, and salt spray resistance, making it suited to the demands of a marine helm or console environment. It carries an IP44 ingress protection rating and is CE marked, meeting UL 1500 and ISO 8846 external ignition protection requirements for use around gasoline engines. The Contura III Switch 8284 is designed to mount directly into Blue Sea Systems Contura Water Resistant Panels and Contura Switch Mounting Panels, allowing it to be installed alongside other Contura series switches for a clean, integrated dash layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blue Sea Systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8284\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contura III Rocker Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPDT (On)-Off-On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Amps @ 12 Volts DC, 15 Amps @ 24 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLED Indicator:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 LED, illuminates in ON position\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic housing, bronze contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Screw terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panel mount, fits Blue Sea Systems Contura Water Resistant Panels and Contura Switch Mounting Panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress Protection Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP44\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e CE Marked;
