It is designed to isolate the battery from the boat's electrical system with a simple two-position on-off control, making it easy to shut down power for storage, service, or safety. As an ignition protected switch, the 9601DP can be installed in the engine rooms of gasoline powered boats. The switch uses Perko's traditional bolt circle mounting pattern, which keeps installation straightforward and allows the switch to be mounted in numerous locations aboard the boat. The housing is red for quick visual identification at the helm or in the engine compartment, and the switch body is plastic with brass contacts for the current-carrying connections. Electrical connections are made via a clamp-style connector. For installations using larger cables, an optional spacer ring (PN 0462DP0RED) is available separately to accommodate the larger cable connections. The 9601-9604 Series shares its footprint with Perko's Compact Disconnect Switches (9611 and 9612 Series), so buyers who want the same mounting pattern in a smaller footprint have that option, while the 9601DP remains the standard medium duty choice for straightforward battery isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perko\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9601DP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9601-9604 Series (Medium Duty Disconnect Switches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e On-Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Positions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition Protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ignition protected, suitable for engine rooms of gasoline powered boats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 250 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50 Volts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plastic housing with brass contacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bulkhead or wall mount, traditional Perko bolt circle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 x 6 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 085226560286\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUniversal medium duty battery disconnect switch suitable for gasoline powered boats;
