    Choose Carling switches and circuit protection

    Match each component to the vessel's system voltage, circuit type, continuous and interrupt ratings, pole configuration, trip curve, actuator style, and environmental requirements. For replacement switches, also verify the cutout, terminal arrangement, lamp voltage, legend, and maintained or momentary action.

    Ask about product compatibility

    Marine controls built around the complete circuit

    A switch or breaker must match both the electrical load and the installation. Review conductor protection, available fault current, leakage-protection requirements, panel fit, environmental exposure, and applicable marine standards before selecting a replacement or designing a new panel.

    • Contura rocker switches in maintained and momentary circuit configurations
    • Hydraulic-magnetic and thermal circuit breakers for AC and DC applications
    • ELCIs for shore-power leakage protection at the vessel
    • Battery disconnects and digital switching for onboard power control

    Frequently asked questions

    What does Carling Technologies make for boats?

    Carling Technologies manufactures marine rocker switches, toggle and pushbutton controls, hydraulic-magnetic and thermal circuit breakers, equipment leakage circuit interrupters, battery disconnect switches, power distribution equipment, and digital switching systems.

    How do I identify a replacement Carling rocker switch?

    Check the complete part number and confirm the switch series, pole and throw configuration, maintained or momentary action, terminal arrangement, actuator and legend, lamp voltage, electrical ratings, and panel cutout. Similar-looking Contura switches can have different internal circuits.

    What is the difference between a marine circuit breaker and an ELCI?

    A circuit breaker protects conductors and equipment against overcurrent. An ELCI also monitors current imbalance between conductors and disconnects shore power when leakage exceeds its trip threshold. The required ratings and installation location must be verified for the vessel.

    Is Carling Technologies part of Littelfuse?

    Yes. Littelfuse completed its acquisition of Carling Technologies in 2021, and Carling Technologies is presented as a Littelfuse brand.
