Sea-Dog 420214-1 Illuminated Contura Rocker Switch, SPDT Momentary On/Off/Momentary On, 20A 12V

The Sea-Dog 420214-1 is an illuminated Contura rocker switch built for marine electrical panels. It uses an SPDT Momentary On/Off/Momentary On circuit action, meaning the rocker springs back to the center OFF position when released from either side rather than staying latched, making it suited to applications like trim tabs, windlasses, or other functions that should stop the moment the operator lets go. The switch is rated 20 amps at 12 volts DC and terminates in 4 blade terminals for a secure wiring connection. A red light illuminates when the switch is in the ON position, giving a clear visual indicator of circuit status even in low light. The housing is built from injection molded nylon with stamped brass components and silver tin oxide contacts, giving it durable, low-resistance switching. It is resistant to vibration, shock, thermoshock, moisture, and salt spray, and carries an IP66 rating for its front panel components. The switch is rated for an operating temperature range of -40 C to 85 C and meets UL1500 / ISO8846 ignition protection standards for marine products, making it appropriate for installation near fuel systems and engine spaces.
