Elite 5-Switch Waterproof Panel with Lighter Socket (IP56)

This premium 5-switch + 1 socket panel is part of Osculati’s Elite series, offering top-notch quality and functionality. The panel is made of anodized aluminum with an epoxy coating, ensuring corrosion resistance and a long-lasting clean look even under harsh marine conditions osculati.com . The construction is IP56 water-resistant, protecting the internal components from splashes and rain – suitable for exposed installations or cockpits. The panel features five high-quality toggle switches with rubber boot seals and built-in illumination (for easy identification at night): – The first switch is a 3-position ON-OFF-ON toggle controlling two separate circuits. This type of switch is ideal for systems like navigation lights (e.g. steaming/anchor lights) or dual-speed devices where the center position is off. – The last, fifth switch is a momentary ON-OFF (spring-return) toggle – when held in the ON position it activates a device (typically the horn), and it springs back to OFF when released osculati.com . This provides safety by ensuring the horn or similar device operates only when intentionally pressed. – The remaining three middle switches are standard ON-OFF toggles for operating any other systems (e.g. lighting, navigation electronics, bilge pumps). In addition to the switches, the panel incorporates a built-in 12V power socket (cigarette lighter style) which allows you to plug in extra accessories – for example, charging units, spotlights or portable coolers – directly at the helm without needing a separate outlet. All electrical circuits on the panel are protected by resettable automatic fuses (thermal breakers), eliminating the need to replace fuses. The fuse configuration for this 5 + socket model is 3 x 10A and 2 x 15A, corresponding to five protected switch circuits plus a separate protection for the socket. This means three of the circuits can handle up to 10A load, and two can handle up to 15A – an ideal distribution for most onboard devices (with higher amperage allocated to the horn circuit and possibly another heavy-load circuit). The panel’s dimensions are about 170 x 90 mm, with a horizontal layout that comfortably accommodates all 5 switches and the socket. The kit includes mounting hardware and a clear wiring diagram for connecting into your vessel’s electrical system. With this Elite 5-switch panel with socket, you get an all-in-one solution: centralized control of your boat’s critical systems plus an extra power outlet, all combined in a stylish, durable, and user-friendly module.
