Overview
The Painless Wiring 80510 is a Military Spec toggle switch with an internally sealed body. It screws directly to the switch housing, which eliminates the tab mount used on many toggle switches.
It is a Military Spec design with an internally sealed body, and it is universal fit, not tied to a particular vehicle.
Key features
- Internally sealed construction
- Direct screw mounting to the switch housing
- Eliminates the tab mount
- Painless Wiring cites use in military aircraft
Panel layout and sealed switches
A sealed toggle body helps keep moisture and dust out of the switch mechanism, which is useful in dash panels and consoles that see spills or heat. Because this switch screws into its housing, the panel opening should be sized around the switch body rather than a tab slot. Measure the body and the panel before cutting, and plan the wiring so the leads have room to bend without pulling on the terminals.
Direct screw mounting makes the switch sit firmly, but it also means the threads and housing must line up. Tighten the screws evenly so the switch does not warp the panel. Label each switch by function, and keep the lever clear of surrounding trim so it moves freely. Sealed switches are a good choice for areas where a plain toggle would collect debris.
- Size the opening around the switch body
- Tighten mounting screws evenly
- Keep the lever clear of trim
