BEP 12V SPST Toggle Switch 25A with PVC-Coated 8" 16 AWG Leads — Off/On Panel Mount

The BEP 1002016 is a PVC-coated single-pole, single-throw (SPST) toggle switch engineered to turn a 12V circuit on or off with a 25A rating and 8" 16 AWG wire leads for easy installation.

This compact, panel-mount toggle switch combines a weather-resistant PVC jacket with a durable electrical rating suitable for many 12V DC applications. It is built to replace common marine and automotive style on/off switches and accepts a 15/32" mounting stem that secures in panels up to 3/16" thick. The 8" 16 AWG wire leads simplify wiring without separate terminal hardware, and the switch is rated 25A at 12V DC for robust, continuous use within its specification.

How reliable is this switch in wet or outdoor environments?

The BEP 1002016 uses PVC coating around the actuator and wiring to resist water intrusion and provide an added layer of protection compared with uncoated toggles. While not an IP-classified sealed product, the PVC covering reduces corrosion risk and helps maintain electrical integrity in splash-prone or humid settings.

• PVC-coated body and leads for splash resistance
• Corrosion protection on exposed surfaces
• Suitable for marine dash or exterior compartments when used with proper sealing

What electrical loads and systems can this 12V toggle control?

This SPST toggle is designed to switch a single circuit on or off and is rated to handle up to 25 amps at 12 volts DC. It's appropriate for lighting circuits, pumps, accessories, and other 12V devices that draw currents within the rating; avoid using it above its rated amperage to prevent overheating.

• Rated 25A at 12V DC for lights, fans, pumps, and accessories
• Single-pole single-throw design controls one circuit with a simple on/off action
• Not recommended for inductive loads above the specified rating without added protection

How easy is it to install and replace an existing switch?

Installation is straightforward: the switch fits through a 15/32" panel hole and secures on panels up to 3/16" thick. Pre-attached 8" 16 AWG wire leads remove the need for separate crimp terminals at the switch body, speeding up replacement jobs and new installations.

• Mounting stem 15/32" — compatible with many dash cutouts
• Wire leads: 8" length, 16 AWG for reliable current handling and easy routing
• Direct replacement for Cole Hersee 5582-30 for quick swaps

Who is this for? The BEP 1002016 is a practical choice for boat owners, RV or truck upfitters, mechanics, and hobbyists who need a compact, water-resistant on/off switch for 12V systems. It suits anyone replacing a common marine toggle or adding a simple control for lights, pumps, or other single-circuit accessories where a reliable 25A capacity and pre-wired leads save time and reduce parts count.
