Sea-Dog SPST On/Off Toggle Switch, Stamped Brass, 12 Volt 15 Amp, 420465-1
The Sea-Dog 420465-1 is an SPST On/Off toggle switch built from stamped brass for durability and corrosion resistance in marine environments. It wires easily using two screw terminals, making it a straightforward addition or replacement for helm panels, accessory circuits, bilge pumps, lighting, and other basic on/off electrical controls aboard a boat. The switch is rated 12 Volts DC at a maximum of 15 Amps, and is designed for a maximum panel thickness of 3/8 inch, with a bushing diameter of 3/8 inch (A) and a mounting hex/nut dimension of 7/16 inch (B). Its all-brass construction resists the salt air and moisture exposure common on boats, and the simple SPST On/Off action makes it a reliable choice where a single-circuit switch is needed without momentary or multi-position functions. For installations exposed to spray or wash-down, a waterproof cap (Sea-Dog 420479-1) is available separately and fits over this switch to add a layer of protection against water intrusion. This toggle switch is a panel-mount design suited for standard marine electrical panels and small craft wiring projects where a compact, corrosion-resistant switch is required.
