It is wired SPDT with a Momentary On\/Off\/Momentary On action across 3 blades, so the circuit engages only while the rocker is pressed to either side and returns to off when released. The switch is rated 15 Amps at 12 Volts DC and is ignition protected and water resistant, making it suitable for helm panels and other wet marine environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConstruction is durable injection molded nylon and stamped brass, with the housing also incorporating polycarbonate components, and wiring terminates in standard 1\/4 inch blade terminals for straightforward connection. The switch snaps into a standard 7\/8 inch x 1-7\/16 inch panel slot for a clean, secure, no-tool installation into any panel cut to that size. As a large-format rocker switch, it offers a bigger actuation surface than smaller toggle or mini-rocker styles, making it easier to operate with gloved or wet hands at the helm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sea-Dog\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 420249-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rocker Switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCircuit Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e SPDT, Momentary On\/Off\/Momentary On\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Blades:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 Amps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Volts DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePanel Cutout Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\/8 inch x 1-7\/16 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerminal Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/4 inch blade terminals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brass, Nylon, Polycarbonate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8.75 x 3.88 x 1.25 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress Protection Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP54\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition Protected:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.066 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 035514422949\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Momentary On\/Off\/Momentary On mean on the Sea-Dog 420249-1?\u003c\/strong\u003e It means the 420249-1 only completes its circuit while the rocker is actively pressed to one side or the other;
