ROCKER SWITCHES
K1/K2
SNAP-IN
SEALED, ILLUMINATED ROCKER SWITCHES ROCKERS
LOW COST, SNAP-IN ROCKER FOR WET & DUSTY ENVIRONMENTS
The K series rockers are rugged, high performance sealed
switches designed for use under severe conditions found in
marine, appliance, heavy equipment and industrial control
applications.
The K1 and K2 series are sealed to IP68S and IP69K and panel
sealed with an optional panel gasket.
The K1 series is offered in single pole configuration and the
K2 series is available in both single and double pole configurations.
K1 Series
Both series offer illuminated models. Illumination can be
Single Pole
independent or dependent of the switch position or a
combination of both. A choice of red, green, clear or amber
colored lenses are offered in illuminated models. Illumination
options include incandescent, LED or neon light sources.
Mounting is simple and quick; snaps into panel from the
front. The OTTO snap-in design supports a variety of panel
thicknesses with just one cutout size.
A choice of models are offered to handle high power levels and
logic level electronic switching applications.
K2 Series
Custom colors are available upon request. Value-added
Single & Double Pole
assemblies with wire leads are also available. Please contact our
CUS
factory for assistance.
