STP
The V-Series Contura XIV snap-in rocker switches offer countless unique options including choices for ratings,
circuits, colors, illuminations and legends. These single or double pole switches feature removable actuators in
a choice of actuator styles and colors, and can be illuminated with either square or bar shaped lenses. Actuators
may be purchased and stocked separately. An optional plug-in terminal connector enables pre-wiring
of harnesses.
The Contura switches with sealed option, are certified to IP66/68, signifying complete protection against dust
and prolonged spray and submersion under pressure, and are recognized to UL1500 - Ignition Protection
for Marine Products. These switches are vibration, shock, thermoshock, moisture and salt spray resistant.
Temperature ratings range from -40°C to +85°C.

V-Series Contura Sealed Rocker Switches - Actuator Options & Accessories
| 3
Contura II & III
The Contura II & III actuators are
constructed of thermoplastic
polycarbonate and are offered with
a hard nylon overlay or a “soft-touch”
elastomer overlay. These models
incorporate aesthetic designs on
the top and bottom of the rocker
featuring two rows of raised “bumps”
on the Contura II and three “indented”
lines on the Contura III.
Contura X
The raised bracket/bezel on the
Contura X helps prevent inadvertent
actuation of the rocker, as well as
preventing debris from being trapped
under the actuator. This curved rocker
style is available with a variety of
lenses and legends.
Contura IV
The Contura IV’s “Shape to create
a Shape” actuator works with the
curves, contours & advanced styling
of the latest panel designs, flowing
with these advanced curves & radii.
This actuator style fits on the Contura
flush bracket/bezel.
Contura XI
The raised bracket/bezel on the
Contura XI helps prevent inadvertent
actuation of the rocker, as well as
preventing debris from being trapped
under the actuator. This convex style
rocker is available with a wide variety
of lenses and legends.
Contura V
The symmetrically curved Contura
V actuator provides the perfect
complement to the Contura IV’s
“Shape to create a Shape” design
concept. With its flush style mounting
bracket, Contura V can be mounted in
between two Contura IV’s, by itself, or
in groups.
Contura XII
The Contura XII version features a
paddle style actuator with the raised
bracket/bezel of Contura X and XI. The
contoured handle design provides
intuitive recognition and ease of
operation and is available with all
Contura X and XI lens and legend
offerings.
Contura VI (WAVE)
The Contura VI WAVE sealed rocker
switches, when used in a row, create
an uniquely appealing “wave” design
on your panel. A variety of colors and
finishes are available for both rocker
and wave insert. Contura VI features
bar and oval lenses.
Contura XIV
The Contura XIV represents a sleek new
crossover rocker design which should
appeal to Trucks, Buses and Heavy
Vehicles as well as the Marine Industry.
Intuitive feel is provided by recessed
ridges along with a Center Groove
which effectively defines the boundary
between top and bottom switch
functions.
Contura VII
Contura VII featuring gently
curved corners and edges assuring
compatibility with most any panel
design. Intuitive feel is maximized
by the use of 2 embossed circular
pads located at opposite ends of
the rocker. Any combination of Bar
or Oval style lenses can be located
in the pads providing a truly unique
look, exclusive to Contura VII.
Illuminated Indicators
& Accessories
Alert operator of systems functions
or malfunctions, are offered with
removable/replaceable lamps in
Contura II, II, V or X styles. Accessories
include connectors, mounting panels,
hole plugs, panel seals, and actuator
removal tools. Refer to accessories page
for full details
