Raritan Heavy-Duty Push Button Switch - Brass

The Raritan Heavy-Duty Push Button Switch in brass is a mission-critical component for marine electrical systems, built to withstand the corrosive salt-air environment that challenges boats of all sizes. After years running offshore, you know that standard switches fail when exposed to spray, humidity, and temperature swings—this switch is engineered precisely to prevent that failure. Whether you're outfitting a new vessel or upgrading aging systems, this Raritan switch delivers the reliability that separates a well-maintained boat from one constantly battling electrical gremlins.

Heavy-duty brass construction is the key to longevity in marine applications; unlike plated steel or plastic alternatives, brass naturally resists corrosion and maintains conductivity even after seasons of exposure. The push-button design offers tactile, reliable switching action—no toggles to snag on rigging, no lever switches to break in rough seas. With a compact footprint measuring 2 x 2 x 4 inches and weighing just 0.2 lbs, it installs cleanly in tight panel spaces without adding bulk. The Raritan brand has earned trust across the marine industry for manufacturing switches and through-hull fittings that actually outlast the boats they're installed in.

This switch suits freshwater and saltwater vessels alike, making it equally at home in a Chesapeake Bay workboat or a Gulf Coast center console. Anglers, charter captains, and weekend cruisers rely on switches like this for bilge pump activation, fan control, and auxiliary power circuits where failure isn't an option. Installation into existing panel cutouts is straightforward, and the brass terminals accept standard marine-grade wire without special adapters. If you've ever been stranded by a failed electrical component mid-trip, you understand why choosing proven marine-grade hardware upfront saves frustration, time, and money down the line.
