Sea-Dog 420420-1 Momentary Push Button Switch, No Cap, SPST On-Off, 15A 12V
The Sea-Dog 420420-1 is a momentary push button on-off switch built from stamped brass to hold up in harsh marine environments. It is designed for panel mounting in a 5/8 inch diameter hole, with a maximum panel thickness of 1 inch, and wires up with two screw terminals for a straightforward electrical connection. This version ships with no cap installed, giving you a low-profile, exposed-button switch that is easy to identify by feel.
The switch is rated 15 Amps at 12 Volts DC, suitable for momentary circuits such as horn buttons, bilge pump test switches, windlass controls, or off-ignition start applications where you only want power flowing while the button is pressed. Because the mounting hole and panel thickness specs are universal, this switch is not tied to a specific boat make or model and works anywhere a standard 5/8 inch momentary switch is called for. If you prefer a covered button, Sea-Dog offers the same switch body with a black or red waterproof cap as separate part numbers, and waterproof caps are also sold individually if you want to add one later.
