Gardner Bender 41770 Toggle Switch 35A 12V 2-position

Product Description

The GARDNER BENDER 41770 is a heavy duty toggle switch rated for 35 amps at 12 volts, designed for demanding electrical switching applications in vehicles, marine equipment, and industrial control panels. It operates in a 2-position on-off sequence and mounts through a 0.5 inch hole, making it a direct fit for standard toggle switch cutouts. Screw terminal wire connections allow for secure, reliable termination without specialized crimping tools. The chrome and black finish offers durability in exposed environments. Electricians, automotive technicians, and marine service pros rely on this switch for load control in low-voltage DC circuits.

This toggle switch is suited for 12-volt DC systems where a simple on-off function is needed. Typical applications include auxiliary lighting circuits, cooling fans, pumps, and accessory loads in mobile, marine, or stationary equipment. The 35-amp rating accommodates moderate to heavy resistive and inductive loads. The 0.5 inch mounting hole diameter fits panels, dashboards, and enclosures commonly found in commercial vehicles, boats, and service equipment. Installation requires only basic hand tools and is straightforward for any trained electrician or technician familiar with low-voltage wiring.
