Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Marine Brass Switch 1133/2 suitable for outdoor or exposed installations?

Yes, the switch is made of marine-grade brass and features an IP66 rating, making it resistant to water jets and heavy seas. It can be mounted in exposed locations such as bridge wings or weather decks, but care should be taken to seal the cable entry properly.

What is the difference between this switch and a standard household switch?

This switch is built for harsh maritime environments. Its solid brass housing offers superior corrosion resistance compared to standard plastic or steel switches, and it is designed to handle vibration, humidity, and temperature extremes commonly found on ships.

How do I know if this switch is the right replacement for my current unit?

Check the specifications (voltage, current, contact configuration) against your existing switch. The Marine Brass Switch 1133/2 is a double-pole single-throw (DPST) unit rated at 250V AC and 10A. If your original switch matches these ratings and mounting dimensions, it is a suitable replacement. Always consult a qualified electrician for installation.

Can this switch be used for 12V or 24V DC systems?

Yes, the switch can handle low-voltage DC systems as well. Although it is rated for 250V AC, the current rating is the same for DC applications, and the brass contacts are well-suited for DC use. However, verify your load current does not exceed 10A.
