Application Notes: Marine

Marine PDF

Relays and switches are fundamental components in the marine industry; used extensively for controlling and protecting electrical circuits and systems on boats, yachts, ships and other marine vessels and dockside components. Applications include engine control systems, lighting systems, alarm and safety systems, navigation and communication systems, control panels, bilge pumps, and entertainment systems along with many peripheral components both on-board and on shore.
