12 V red relay – code: 02.338.00RO – Osculati

12 V red contactor Osculati (code 02.338.00RO)

The 12 V red contactor Osculati, identified by code 02.338.00RO, is a component designed for managing electrical controls in nautical and onboard systems, where practical controls and construction suitable for exposed environments are required. The proposed version is equipped with a red pedal and integrates into systems that include operation via pedal, manual controls, or panel controls.

The implementation includes a rubber pedal and a mirror-polished stainless steel ring. The structure is indicated as watertight, a useful feature when the component is installed in areas subject to splashes or humidity typical of onboard use.

Features and construction details

• Pedal color: red.
• Pedal: rubber.
• Ring nut: mirror polished stainless steel.
• Sealing: watertight (as per product description).

Main data

• Voltage: 12 V.
• W: 2000.
• Supplier: Osculati S.r.l.
• Supplier product code: 02.338.00RO.

Supported control options

The contactor can operate with different types of controls, making it easier to integrate into existing systems or new installations where you want to choose the most suitable actuator type for the usage station:

• Pedal control panel: 02.342.01, 02.342.02, 02.342.03, 02.342.04
• Manual controls: 02.339.00
• Panel controls: 02.341.00, 02.341.20

Note: the codes listed above are those indicated as compatible/associable in the original datasheet. For choosing the most suitable control, it is advisable to check the system configuration and the available space in the installation.

Typical applications (nautical and onboard plant engineering)

In a nautical context, a contactor is commonly used as a control/activation element within circuits dedicated to utilities and maneuvers that require practical and repeatable operation. The presence of the pedal and the protection for makes it suitable for workstations where “foot” operation may be preferable, for example to keep hands free during certain maneuvers or onboard activities.

Thanks to the ability to also operate with manual controls and panel controls, the product is suitable for installations where commands are centralized on a console, panel, or dedicated station, maintaining consistency with the existing system.

Benefits for installers and maintenance personnel

• Complete solution: the equipment with rubber pedal and stainless steel ring simplifies the management of components during installation.
• Flexible integration: possibility of use with pedal control panels, manual controls and panel controls (according to the indicated codes).
• Environmental protection: the protection for is a plus in nautical applications where humidity is a recurring factor.
• Professional finish: the mirror-polished stainless steel ring contributes to a refined aesthetic result, suitable for visible installations.

Usage and installation notes

Control selection and system verification

Before installation, it is advisable to define the desired control mode (pedal, manual, or panel) and verify the correspondence with the indicated codes. In case of replacement, it is good practice to compare the supplier product code 02.338.00RO with that of the component already installed and check the circuit configuration.

Positioning and protection

Although indicated as watertight, it is appropriate to install the component in a position that reduces direct exposure to impacts, unexpected stepping, or dirt accumulation, compatible with the intended use. Proper placement helps maintain the functionality of the control and ease of use over time.

Routine maintenance

In the nautical field, periodic inspection of the pedal and ring nut condition (external cleaning and visual check) helps keep the assembly in order. For electrical system interventions, follow the prescribed safety procedures and, if necessary, consult qualified personnel.
