Frequently Asked Questions

Is the BK-2 switch suitable for saltwater exposure?

Yes, the BK-2 is constructed with an anodized aluminum housing and stainless steel hardware, providing excellent corrosion resistance in marine saltwater environments. Its IP66 rating protects it against powerful water jets, making it ideal for exposed deck installations.

What is the maximum voltage and current rating?

The BK-2 is rated for 250V AC and 24V DC. The maximum current is 10A for AC circuits and 6A for DC circuits. Always verify your vessel's electrical parameters and ensure the switch is not overloaded.

Can this switch be used as an emergency stop?

While the BK-2 is a reliable ON/OFF switch, it is not specifically designed as an emergency stop device. For emergency stop applications, we recommend using a dedicated safety switch that complies with relevant marine safety standards such as IEC 60947.

Does the BK-2 include a fuse?

The BK-2 combination switch has an optional integrated fuse holder, allowing you to add a fuse for overcurrent protection. The fuse is not included and must be ordered separately based on your circuit requirements.
