This section applies to all our SPST independent lamp ON-OFF switches, which we carry in various lamp and LED colors.

These switch bodies include (and cab be purchased as links below):

V1D1-G66B – White Lamps

V1D1-GCCB – Red LED Rocker Switch

V1D1-GXXB – Blue LED Rocker Switch

We use this V1D1 rocker switch body for all our SPST ON-OFF laser-etched backlit rocker switches. Unlike the V1D1-B60B, which has three prongs, this version features four prongs, including an additional terminal at position 8, which controls the independent top light.

This rocker switch body is designed to be paired with an etched or printed snap-in rocker switch cover to create a complete switch unit. All rocker switch actuators sold on our site are fully compatible with this model.

Like all of our Carling Contura V-Series Rocker Switches, this switch is IP68-rated, making it dustproof and waterproof. For detailed installation instructions, refer to the rocker switch wiring diagram provided.

The DPDT illuminated rocker switch features two dependent lamps, one at the top and one at the bottom. The rocker switch wiring diagram to the right clearly illustrates how the contacts and lamps are wired internally for proper functionality.

The VJD1 rocker switch has seven terminals on the back for secure connections. If you’re replacing an existing rocker switch, check the switch housing—if it’s stamped with “VJD1,” this model is a direct replacement. It is also compatible with V6D1, VJDA, and V6DA models.

This illuminated rocker switch lights the bottom lamp when switched down and the upper lamp when switched up for easy visibility.

3b. How to Wire as a Nav/Anc Switch:

For marine applications an extremely common use for this VJD1 switch is as a Navigation and Anchor light switch.

We’ve created a short video explaining how to do this:

As our only 10-terminal rocker switch, this marine-grade DPDT rocker switch is an ON-OFF-ON switch, where both the up and down positions are ON, and the center position is OFF. It features two independent lights—one at the top and one at the bottom—which are triggered by an external source, such as another switch.

The VJD2 rocker switch has 10 terminals on the back and is a variation of our VJD1 ON-OFF-ON rocker switch body. It is most commonly used when controlling two loads separately, without activating the backlights in a bank of backlit rocker switches.

Refer to the rocker switch wiring diagram to see how the 10 terminals (spade connectors) function:

• Four terminals control the independent rocker switch lights
• Six terminals handle electromechanical switching
• Two isolated negative inputs (T9 and T7) for each LED or lamp

This rocker switch body is designed to be paired with a rocker switch actuator, and all actuators sold on our site are fully compatible. However, for independent lighting functionality, we recommend using an etched switch cover specifically designed for this model.

Commonly used as a Navigation/Anchor light switch for boats, this Carling Contura V-Series Rocker Switch is IP68-rated, ensuring it is dustproof and waterproof. For detailed installation guidance, refer to the rocker switch wiring diagram provided.
