Calterm 42200 Push Pull Headlight Switch 15A 12V

Product Description

The CALTERM 42200 is a general-duty push/pull headlight switch rated at 15 amps and 12 volts DC. It operates in two positions, On and Off, using a chrome finish knob that the installer pushes or pulls to toggle the circuit. The switch mounts in a 7/16-inch panel hole and uses screw terminals for wiring attachment, making wiring connections straightforward without soldering. This type of switch is commonly installed in automotive, light truck, agricultural equipment, and small utility vehicle applications where a simple manual headlight or accessory circuit control is needed.

This switch is suited for 12-volt DC electrical systems requiring a panel-mounted On/Off control for lighting circuits or similar low-voltage accessory loads. The push/pull knob design is a common fitment in custom dash builds, equipment retrofits, and replacement of worn OEM-style headlight switches. Electricians and automotive technicians working on 12-volt vehicle or equipment wiring will find this a standard general-duty solution for manual circuit switching.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-duty replacement or add-on push/pull headlight switch for 12-volt DC automotive, truck, and equipment electrical systems requiring a panel-mount On/Off switch.

Installation Notes

Disconnect the vehicle or equipment battery before beginning installation to prevent accidental short circuits. Drill or verify a 7/16-inch mounting hole in the panel before inserting the switch. Secure wiring to the screw terminals using an appropriate screwdriver, ensuring connections are tight to prevent arcing under load. Follow applicable vehicle or equipment wiring standards and verify the circuit load does not exceed the 15-amp rating of the switch.
