Product Description
66-5017 - Aircraft-Style Toggle Switch Safety Cover
This aircraft-style spring-loaded toggle switch safety cover designed to help prevent accidental activation or deactivation of a two-position toggle switch. The protective guard must be manually flipped open to access the switch, helping reduce the chance of unintended operation caused by bumping, snagging, or accidental contact.
Its distinctive flip-up/flip-down design is commonly used in automotive, racing, marine, industrial, electronics, and hobby applications where an added level of protection is desirable around critical toggle switches.
The cover rests over the toggle switch in its closed position, helping shield the switch from accidental contact. To operate the switch, simply flip the safety cover upward to expose the toggle. When the cover is returned to the closed position, it provides a physical barrier over the switch.
Protect your toggle switches from accidental activation with the Aircraft-Style Toggle Switch Safety Cover. This spring-loaded safety guard provides a simple, effective physical barrier over compatible two-position toggle switches while maintaining quick manual access when needed. Its recognizable aircraft-style design makes it a practical choice for automotive, marine, industrial, racing, and DIY control-panel applications.
