Sierra MP39060-1 Brass Ignition Switch, 3-Position, White, 7/8 Inch Hole
The Sierra MP39060-1 is a 3-position brass ignition switch built for panel mounting on boats and other 12-volt DC applications. The switch body and back up nut are brass for corrosion resistance, and the face is finished with a hex chrome face nut for a clean, durable panel appearance in white. It uses a 3 screw tab terminal design for a secure wiring connection, and it is rated for 15 Amp at 12 Volts DC on the ignition circuit, 30 Amp at 12 Volts DC on the solenoid circuit, and 15 Amp at 12 Volts DC on the accessory circuit, making it suitable for cranking and accessory switching duty.
The switch is designed to fit a standard 7/8 inch panel hole and accommodates a maximum panel thickness of 1-1/8 inch, so it drops into common dash and helm panel cutouts. Its 3-position operation covers off, ignition-on, and start/accessory functions typical of a marine ignition switch. At 0.43 pounds, it is a lightweight, straightforward replacement part for helm stations needing a reliable brass ignition switch.
