Maxwell Foot Switch & Cover - Stainless Steel

The Maxwell Foot Switch & Cover in stainless steel is a heavy-duty auxiliary control system designed for marine, industrial, and specialized automotive applications where remote switching is essential. Built for professionals who demand reliability in harsh environments, this foot switch enables hands-free operation of electrical circuits rated up to 150 amps, making it ideal for winch activation, hydraulic systems, and auxiliary lighting control on work vehicles, off-road rigs, and marine vessels. Its weather-resistant design ensures consistent performance whether mounted in engine bays, truck beds, or saltwater environments.

The unit features a UV-stabilized waterproof diaphragm that resists UV degradation and moisture infiltration, critical for outdoor durability and preventing electrical failures from corrosion or water damage. Stainless steel construction provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard steel, particularly valuable in marine and salt-spray environments where oxidation undermines electrical contact integrity. The integrated cover protects the switch mechanism from accidental activation, mud, debris, and direct water spray, while the compact footprint allows discreet installation beneath dash, floor pan, or mounting plate locations without obstructing driver movement.

Mechanics and fabricators benefit from the included mounting hardware and detailed instructions, which eliminate guesswork during installation on custom wiring harnesses or OEM systems. The 150-amp rating accommodates high-draw accessories including heavy-duty winches, compressors, and auxiliary pump systems without voltage sag or contact arcing. Complete installation requires only basic crimping tools and a DMM to verify circuit integrity; the switch integrates into negative or positive circuits depending on your system configuration. Weight of 0.8 lbs and compact 5 x 3 x 6 inch footprint ensure minimal impact on vehicle balance or undercarriage clearance.
