The OTTO K5 series is a quality, precision switch designed
to comply with standards established for appliance, marine
(ignition protection) and off-road vehicles along with other
demanding applications where rugged rocker switches
are required.
K5 series sealed rocker switches snap into industry-standard
panel cutouts. Choose illuminated and printed legends, thru-
panel drain option and switching compatibility from low level
up to 20 amps.
The K5 series offers a choice of LED, incandescent and neon
illumination. Legends can be stamped onto a non-illuminated
button, stamped onto an illuminated lens or laser etched into the
lens and backlit.
Available in standard and low level contact ratings, the K5
rockers will fit a wide range of applications. Expect a minimum
of 25,000 cycles at a full rated load of 20 amps resistive or
15 amps inductive. 100,000 cycles mechanical. A full
complement of switch operation is available including
momentary and maintained action in 2 or 3-position switches
in SPST, SPDT, SPTT, DPST and DPDT circuit arrangements.
OTTO can provide custom colors upon request. Value-added
assemblies with wire leads are also available. Please consult the
factory for assistance.
