Sierra MP39520 Push-Pull Switch, On-Off SPST, Solid Brass, 3/8 Inch Mounting Bushing
The Sierra MP39520 is a push-pull toggle switch built for on-off SPST switching in 12-volt marine electrical circuits. Constructed of solid brass, the switch is designed to hold up in the corrosion-prone environment of a boat's helm or accessory panel, where cheaper plastic-bodied switches tend to fail. Operation is simple: pull the knob to turn the connected circuit on, push it in to turn it off, making it a natural fit for bilge pumps, lights, blowers, horns, and other 12-volt accessories that call for a straightforward manual switch rather than a rocker or toggle.
The switch mounts through a 3/8 inch bushing and is sized to fit panels up to 1 inch thick, so it can be installed in most dash, console, or accessory panel cutouts without needing a custom-drilled hole. It terminates in two screw terminals for a secure, serviceable wiring connection, and the knob itself is a chrome-plated plastic finish that resists fading and wear from sun and spray. Rated for 15 amps at 12 VDC, the MP39520 is sized for typical low-draw marine accessory circuits.
