Panel with 5 switches + cigarette lighter socket – code: 14.703.00 – Osculati

Osculati 5-switch panel + cigarette lighter socket (code 14.703.00)

The Osculati panel with 5 switches and cigarette lighter socket it is a practical solution to organize and manage multiple electrical users from a single control point. Designed for contexts of onboard systems e applicazioni tecniche dove ordine e accessibilità sono importanti, integra comandi protetti e una presa di servizio in un unico elemento compatto.

The construction includes a gray aluminum panel and switches equipped with rubber caps, with a declared protection level IP56. The presence of the glass fuse holders helps make the panel suitable for installations where a more orderly management of protections is desired.

Features and construction details

Control and socket configuration

The panel integrates 5 switches and a cigarette lighter socket, useful as a power supply point for accessories compatible with this standard. The control logic is designed to cover typical user management needs:

• ON-OFF switches for most lines;
• First ON-OFF-ON switch, useful when a selection on two operating positions is needed;
• Last ON-OFF switch with spring return, indicated for momentary functions such as the horn.

Protection and components

For use in technical environments, the panel adopts solutions oriented towards protection and durability:

• Rubber caps on the switches, for better control protection;
• IP56 protection rating (as indicated by the manufacturer);
• Glass fuse holders prepared for fuses 6×32 mm (format indicated in the product description).

Materials and finish

The support is made of gray aluminum, a common choice for control panels where a technical appearance and good resistance in daily use are sought. The sober finish facilitates integration on dashboards and electrical panels in nautical and plant engineering contexts.

Dimensions (data available)

For the variant 5+1 power socket/cigarette lighter the dimensions are reported 170×70 (units as indicated “mm” in the existing content). During installation, it is advisable to check the available space and the preparation of the hole/mounting surface according to your layout.

Typical applications

This panel is suitable for centralizing controls and accessory power in many operational situations. In nautical and technical fields, it can be used, for example, for:

• management of utilities on dashboard o console;
• installations on electrical panels service;
• control of devices requiring momentary activation (via switch with spring return, for example for horn);
• power supply for accessories through cigarette lighter socket when a dedicated connection point is needed.

The configuration with multiple switches allows maintaining a neater dashboard, reducing the need for separate controls and improving accessibility during use.

Advantages for installation and maintenance

Grouped controls and tidier management

Bringing together multiple switches and a socket in a single panel helps simplify the organization of controls. In particular, in technical spaces where layout is constrained, a single panel can make function identification more immediate and the panel construction cleaner.

Protection of controls

I rubber caps help protect the switches in daily use. The degree IP56 declared by the manufacturer is an additional useful element when the panel is installed in areas subject to challenging environmental conditions.

Provision for standard format fuses

The presence of fuse holders for fuses 6×32 mm allows integrating line protection in an orderly manner, also facilitating inspection and replacement operations when necessary (always respecting the electrical system design).

Usage and operational notes

General indications

For a reliable result, it is advisable to install the panel following good wiring practices and the logic of the existing system. In particular:

• check the compatibility of the cigarette lighter socket with the accessory to be powered;
• correctly identify the functions to be assigned to the controls, taking into account that the first switch is ON-OFF-ON shape and the’last is momentary with spring return;
• use fuses in the format 6×32 mm as provided by the panel, choosing the value based on your own circuit (value not indicated on the datasheet and to be defined in the project).

Note on dimensions and preparation

The dimensions given for this configuration are 170×70. Before installation, check clearances, maneuvering spaces and cable passage behind the panel, especially on consoles with reduced depth or with existing wiring.
