All about

CIT 22mm push button switches give boat builders and owners a straightforward way to add modern, low-profile controls without giving up the durability required at the helm.

The four-switch lineup makes the buying decision simple: choose the exterior finish, then choose the switch action. All four versions share IP67 waterproof construction, a sealed and potted rear, 1 ft flying leads, a panel-sealing O-ring, heavy-duty mechanical contacts, and an independent 12V LED ring.

Black PVD-coated 316L stainless steel gives dark contemporary dashboards a low-profile, coordinated appearance while retaining excellent marine corrosion resistance.

Natural 316L stainless steel provides a timeless bright-metal finish with no painted surface to fade. The internal switching and illumination options are the same, so the finish decision is primarily about the look of your helm.

Latching switches stay ON after one press and switch OFF with the next. Choose latching operation for lights, pumps, electronics, and other accessories that require maintained operation.

Momentary switches remain active only while the button is held. Choose momentary operation for horns, trim tabs, engine-start circuits, relay activation, and other temporary controls.

Every CIT switch contains both blue and red LED emitters. Connect black to negative and orange to positive for blue. Reverse the polarity—orange to negative and black to positive—for red.

The LED is independent from the switch contacts. To illuminate the ring only when the accessory is active, crimp the LED lead used as positive for your chosen color together with the red switched-output lead, then connect the remaining LED lead to negative. For an always-on ring, connect the LED positive lead to constant power instead.

CIT switches use a corrosion-resistant 316L stainless body, IP67 waterproof construction, a sealed and potted rear, and 1 ft flying leads that simplify connections behind the panel. The included O-ring helps seal the 22mm mounting opening against water intrusion.

• Brown: switch power input
• Red: switched output to the accessory or load
• Black and orange: independent LED leads

Always size wire and circuit protection for the connected load. Use an appropriately rated relay whenever the application or installation calls for one.

Use the product selector above to choose your switch. If you are building a complete dash rather than replacing a single control, New Wire Marine can also integrate CIT switches into a professionally labeled custom marine switch panel.
