Tippette Switches
The Tippette Series is a traditionally styled rocker switch,
available in sealed or unsealed versions. These switches are
appropriate for use in those applications not requiring the
more stringent sealing protection of the V-Series and L-Series
switches. The Tippette Series is available in both illuminated
and non-illuminated versions and features a wide variety of
circuits, actuator styles and bracket options. This versatile
offering includes international agency certifications and ratings
to 26 amps for select circuits.
