FM Series Rocker Switch

Single pole rocker switches, illuminated or non-illuminated with solder lug, quick connect or PC terminals. Rated up to 10 amps. Numerous actuator colours.

Please be advised that the FM series will be obsolete at the end of February 2022. The FNR series is the ideal replacement for the FM series.

MAIN FEATURES :

  • For class II appliances.
  • VDE and UL approved.
  • Protection against moisture by double-shell case: When the switch is submitted to moisture (drops, condensation), the double-shell case conducts the liquid outside, thus protecting the contact area and terminals. The light dripping inside the equipment resulting from this should be evacuated by adequate arrangement on back of panel.
  • Protection by boot : In case of sand or splashing water, the best protection consists of insulating the rocker from these aggressive elements. This can be achieved with transparent PVC boot U5720. Order separately, see Sealing Boot section.
