INTRODUCING. . . S-Series Rocker Switches
S-Series Rocker Switches
Carling Technologies is pleased to introduce the S-Series rocker switch, designed for use
in the enclosed cabs of todayʼs trucks, providing the vehicle operator with easily
recognizable and simple to operate controls.
FEATURES:
• Abbreviated travel ½ throw actuators
• Ergonomic rockers
• Illumination in up to three detent switch positions
• A non-teasable snap action circuit
• 10A, 24VDC rating
• Space saving compact envelope with clean bezel-less design
• Integrated low insertion force connector and polarized switch base for quick installation
• Illumination and switch circuitry is easily accommodated with the 10 terminal base
These great features, combined with over 1000 available laser etched or padprinted
legends, allow the S-Series to be seamlessly incorporated into just about any cab interior
environment.
