ATTRACTIVE AND RUGGED FOR WET AND DUSTY ENVIRONMENTS

The OTTO K3 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.

K3 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 to 20 amps.

The K3 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 K3

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 are possible at low level loads. 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.
