PLASTIMO Ignition Switch: Essential Safety and Power Control for Your Marine Electrical System

Ensure the safety, security, and longevity of your vessel´s electrical system with the robust and reliable PLASTIMO Ignition Switch. Designed specifically for the demanding marine environment, this high-performance unipolar battery isolator switch is a fundamental component for any responsible boat owner. It provides a simple yet critical function: the ability to completely disconnect the battery from the electrical circuits, offering unparalleled control and peace of mind whether you are on the water or docked.

This component, often referred to as a battery cut-off switch, is your first line of defense against a range of electrical issues. By installing the PLASTIMO switch, you gain absolute control over your boat´s power supply, safeguarding your investment and enhancing onboard safety.

Key Benefits:

* Enhanced Onboard Safety: Instantly cut all power from the battery in an emergency situation, such as an electrical fire or short circuit. This rapid disconnection can prevent catastrophic damage and is a crucial safety feature for maintenance and repair work on the electrical system.
* Prevents Battery Drain: Eliminate parasitic power drain from electronics, clocks, and other onboard systems when your boat is not in use. This ensures your battery remains fully charged and ready for your next voyage, extending its overall lifespan and preventing the frustration of a dead battery.
* Increased Security: The switch acts as a simple and effective anti-theft device. By disconnecting the power, you immobilize the engine´s starting circuit and other electrical systems, deterring unauthorized use of your vessel.
* Marine-Grade Durability: Built by PLASTIMO, a trusted name in marine equipment, this switch is engineered to withstand the harsh conditions of a saltwater environment, including humidity, temperature fluctuations, and vibration, ensuring reliable performance for years to come.

Main Features:

* High Power Capacity: Engineered to handle the demands of marine electrical systems, it supports a continuous load of 100 Amps and can manage a peak surge of up to 500 Amps for 10 seconds, making it perfectly suitable for engine starting cycles.
* Simple Unipolar Design: The switch operates on a single circuit (unipolar), making it ideal for isolating the positive or negative line of your 12V battery system. Its installation is straightforward and effective.
* Clear On/Off Operation: Features a distinct and easy-to-operate mechanism, allowing you to be certain of the circuit´s status at a glance.
* Compact and Versatile: Its compact design allows for flexible and convenient installation in a variety of locations, such as on a bulkhead or inside an electrical panel, without consuming excessive space.
