Procurement Notes

Verify that the selected part number corresponds to the specific voltage rating (12 V, 24 V, or 48 V) and continuous current requirement (40 A to 600 A) of your application. Confirm the required actuator style, such as key, lever, or rotary, and ensure the housing material meets the environmental conditions. Check for necessary ingress protection ratings if water resistance is required for the installation site.

Selection Notes

Select based on the system voltage and maximum continuous current load to ensure safe operation. Choose the appropriate circuitry type, single-pole or double-pole, depending on the isolation needs. Consider the actuator style suitable for the user interface and the housing material compatibility with the operating environment. Ensure compliance with relevant marine or commercial vehicle standards for the intended use case.
