2-position ON-OFF-ON switch – code: 14.938.02 – Osculati

2-position ON-OFF-ON Osculati switch (code 14.938.02)

The’2-position ON-OFF-ON switch Osculati, code 14.938.02, is a practical solution for managing electrical controls that require two active positions with central stop position. It is designed for technical use in plant and onboard environments, where robust components, neat wiring, and easy integration into panels and consoles are required.

The configuration ON-OFF-ON allows selecting two functions or two control directions, maintaining a central neutral point. The switch is equipped with Faston terminals for quick connections and a construction aimed at durability and contact stability, with materials specified by the manufacturer.

Features and construction details

This model is described as robust and functional, , with components targeted for electrical use and mechanical resistance. Below are the main elements listed:

Control configuration

• Type: ON-OFF-ON (2 clicks).
• Connection to two separate circuits: useful when you want to manage two distinct lines/functions with a single control.

Materials

• Housing in thermoset high voltage resistant.
• Contact in silver.
• Operating lever and compass in nickel-plated brass.

Connections and installation

• Terminals: Faston.
• Number of terminals: 3.
• Pin: 12×10 mm.

Declared electrical data

• Capacity: 15 A.

Accessories and options

• Rubber cap with brass washer (optional): code 14.938.03.

Typical applications

The ON-OFF-ON logic is often chosen when a control with two alternative selections and a central stop position is desired. In nautical and plant engineering fields, it can be suitable for control panels and service boards, especially where it is useful to distinguish two functions or two directions.

Suggested usage examples

• Controls for hydraulic flaps, electrically controlled headlights, trim, lift and similar applications.

Note: The choice of the switch must always be verified based on the electrical diagram and the characteristics of the system on which it will be installed.

Advantages for the installer and for the system

This switch is designed to simplify command management and make wiring tidier, maintaining a construction focused on contact reliability and material solidity.

• Clear and immediate command: two operating positions with central stop, useful for managing alternative functions.
• Faston connections: practical during assembly and maintenance, especially in panels and boards with multiple users.
• Materials declared by the manufacturer: thermosetting housing, silver contacts, nickel-plated brass components.
• Management of two separate circuits: allows an orderly configuration when controlling two distinct lines.
• Cap option: possibility to complete the installation with a dedicated accessory (14.938.03) according to panel requirements.

Usage and operational notes

For a correct installation, it is advisable to prepare the wiring diagram before assembly and verify the correspondence between lever position and desired function (first position ON, center OFF, second position ON). I 3 terminals and the possibility to connect two separate circuits make it important to precisely identify the conductors and Fastons used.

Practical indications

• Check the compatibility of the pin 12×10 mm with the panel/hole and with any knob or finish provided.
• Use appropriate and well-tightened Fastons to reduce play and false contacts over time.
• If the installation requires additional protection, consider the accessory rubber cap with brass washer (14.938.03).

For specific system requirements (voltages, loads, control logics), follow the manufacturer's instructions and good wiring practices.
