W-Series
SEALED ROCKER SWITCHES
Carling Technologies set the standard for performance and aesthetics with the widely successful, often
imitated, but never duplicated, V-Series rocker switches. Building further upon that platform, Carling has
once again raised the bar with the fully sealed W-Series. The W-Series’ traditional appearance features
complete IP68 protection, including below the panel, where the critical connection is made from the
wiring harness. When used in conjunction with the integrated connector, the totally submersible W-Series
provides a seal for up to ten individual wires, assuring compatibility with even the most complex circuitry.
The W-Series also offers a wide variety of accoutrements, including endless illumination options featuring
dual level and multicolor LEDs, progressive and hazard warning circuits, ratings up to 10A 24V, choice of
paddle, rocker, locking or laser etched actuators, hundreds of standard legend choices and the electrical
performance and reliability that is the hallmark of Carling Technologies products.
Product Highlights:
Fully sealed and submersible
IP68 protection, including below the panel
Tri-seal design
Connector with twin locking tabs
Typical Applications:
Marine equipment
ON/OFF Highway equipment
