Baywatt R0 Series Waterproof Rocker Switch | R0-N06 Momentary (ON)-OFF-ON SPDT 4 Pin 12V/24V

The Baywatt R0 Series waterproof rocker switches are designed for reliable DC control in demanding environments. Built for 12V and 24V systems, they are suitable for marine dashboards, 4x4 vehicles, RV electrical systems, agricultural machinery and industrial control panels.

If your installation is exposed to saltwater, humidity, vibration or UV, a standard rocker switch is often not enough. The R0 Series combines sealed construction, UV-resistant materials and stable current handling for dependable switching in environments where conventional switches wear out faster.

This page focuses on the R0-N06, the 4-pin momentary (ON)-OFF-ON SPDT version of the range. This model provides a momentary ON position on one side, a center OFF position, and a maintained ON position on the other side. It features a dual green LED for clearer visual feedback and is especially suitable for bilge pump control, temporary override, pulse command, trim tab control, actuator movement and other safety-related switching functions.

Same quality standard as Baywatt RPS rocker switches

The R0-N06 shares the same general build quality, rocker style and marine-oriented construction standard as the rocker switches used in Baywatt RPS marine panels. Thanks to its 4-pin layout, SPDT switching circuit and dual LED design, it supports more advanced switching logic than a basic ON/OFF rocker while keeping the same robust feel and clean panel integration.

What is a momentary (ON)-OFF-ON rocker switch?

A momentary (ON)-OFF-ON rocker switch combines two types of control in one switch. On one side, the rocker is momentary, meaning it automatically returns to the center OFF position when released. On the other side, it is maintained, meaning it stays in the ON position until pressed again. On the R0-N06, the switching circuit is SPDT, allowing one common input to be directed to one of two outputs depending on rocker position.

Well suited for bilge pump control

The R0-N06 is especially relevant for certain bilge pump control logics. The center OFF position allows the circuit to be shut off cleanly. The maintained ON side can be used for continuous manual operation, while the momentary side can be useful for a short test, temporary override or brief command depending on the wiring scheme. This gives more flexibility than a standard ON/OFF switch when you need different control behaviors in one compact rocker.

Technical highlights

• Voltage: 12V / 24V DC
• Current rating: 20A @ 12V DC / 10A @ 24V DC
• Circuit: SPDT
• Configuration: (ON)-OFF-ON
• Connection: 4 pin
• Ingress protection: IP66
• Housing: ABS + Nylon
• Terminal type: 6.3 mm spade connectors
• Seal: Pre-mounted gasket
• LED: Dual green LED

Built for marine and heavy-duty use

The IP66 sealing helps protect against dust and water spray. The reinforced ABS and Nylon body resists long-term exposure to UV, moisture and mechanical stress. The internal contact system is designed for stable operation in vibrating environments such as boats, off-road vehicles and utility equipment.

Why choose a momentary (ON)-OFF-ON SPDT switch?

A standard ON/OFF rocker only provides one maintained function. The R0-N06 adds more flexibility with its center OFF position, momentary ON on one side, maintained ON on the other side and SPDT switching logic. This makes it useful when one switch must manage a common input and two possible outputs, or when you want to combine a test or override function with a maintained operating mode.

Typical applications

• Bilge pump control
• Temporary override for automatic bilge pump systems
• Trim tab control
• Actuator up/down control
• Temporary winch command
• Relay changeover control
• Reset and safety functions
• Custom dashboard panels

Switching options in the R0 Series

Not all rocker switches operate in the same way. The R0 Series is available in several configurations to match different control requirements:

• R0-N01: ON / OFF (3 pin) – single LED
• R0-N02: (ON) / OFF (3 pin) – single LED
• R0-N05: ON / OFF / ON (4 pin) – dual LED
• R0-N06: (ON) / OFF / ON (4 pin) – dual LED

The R0-N06 is the right choice when you need a momentary waterproof SPDT rocker switch with one temporary ON side, one maintained ON side and a center OFF position.

FAQ

What does momentary (ON)-OFF-ON mean?
It means one side is momentary and automatically returns to the center when released, while the other side is a maintained ON position. The middle position is OFF.

Is the R0-N06 an SPDT switch?
Yes. The R0-N06 uses an SPDT circuit, allowing one common input to be switched to one of two outputs depending on rocker position.

Why does it have 4 pins if it is SPDT?
The switch uses 3 terminals for the SPDT switching function and 1 additional terminal for the LED circuit, which is why the product has 4 physical pins.

Is it suitable for bilge pump control?
Yes. In many wiring schemes, it is a useful option for combining temporary command, center OFF and maintained operation in one switch.

What is the difference between R0-N05 and R0-N06?
The R0-N05 is a maintained ON-OFF-ON switch. The R0-N06 adds a momentary ON position on one side, making it better suited to test, override or short command functions.

Does the LED stay illuminated permanently?
No. The dual LED provides visual feedback depending on the active position and the way the switch is wired in your circuit.

What terminals are required?
Standard 6.3 mm female spade connectors are used.
