Cole Hersee Push-Pull Switches

When demanding applications require reliable circuit control in hostile environments, Cole Hersee push-pull switches deliver the heavy-duty performance that professionals have trusted for decades. Since 1924, Cole Hersee has been providing reliable switching products to the automotive, marine and trucking industries, and their push-pull switches exemplify this heritage of rugged engineering.

Engineered for Hostile Environments

Cole Hersee push-pull switches are designed for universal applications within harsh environments, featuring heavy duty brass body construction specifically designed for circuit control within the marine environment. The line includes both heavy duty and extra heavy duty models in universal and marine construction, with plasticized push-pull switches used in hostile environments. This makes them ideal for marine bilge pump systems, generator controls, navigation lighting, agricultural equipment, and commercial vehicle applications where moisture, vibration, and temperature extremes are constant challenges.

Construction Features That Matter

The engineering details in Cole Hersee push-pull switches set them apart from generic alternatives. Models feature PVC-coated cases that protect against moisture and dirt, while brass mounting stems provide corrosion resistance in saltwater and harsh chemical environments. Their mounting, body, and actuator features are designed for ease-of-use and extended product lifecycle, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance downtime in critical applications.

Available in multiple configurations including single-circuit SPST models and two-circuit designs that allow two circuits to be operated independently with one switch, Cole Hersee push-pull switches accommodate diverse wiring requirements. Models are available with sealed wire leads that simplify installation in tight spaces, or brass screw terminals for traditional panel-mount applications.

Built to Professional Standards

Since its founding in 1924, Cole Hersee has been a pioneer and leader in the development of heavy-duty electrical products for the vehicle industry, contributing to industry standards and serving as an OEM supplier to major equipment manufacturers. As a proudly American-made brand since 1924, Cole Hersee maintains manufacturing standards that prioritize reliability over cost-cutting—a philosophy that shows in every push-pull switch they produce.

Whether you're replacing a failed switch on a vintage boat, building a custom control panel for agricultural equipment, or maintaining commercial vehicle electrical systems, Cole Hersee push-pull switches offer the proven durability that separates professional-grade components from consumer alternatives. Their simple pull-for-ON action provides intuitive operation, while the positive tactile feedback confirms circuit status even in low-visibility conditions.
