Identify the failed switch by: function (which circuit it controls), markings (most switches have an embossed or printed function symbol — light, wiper, heater, etc.), and the wiring at the rear (number of terminals, connector type). For OEM-fitment switches, the part number is normally stamped on the back of the switch body — search directly by part number. For universal-fit switches, match by mounting cut-out, current rating, and switch action.
Match the switch's current rating to the maximum current of the circuit it switches. For LED auxiliary lighting, low-current circuits are typical (1-5 amps). For driving lights, work lights, and beacon circuits, 10-20 amp ratings are standard. For high-current loads (electric heating, hydraulic-control solenoids, large work-light banks), use a relay driven by a low-current panel switch rather than running the full load through the panel switch — this protects the switch from overheating.
Yes. Sealed and weatherproof switches with IP65, IP67, and IP68 ratings are available across the rocker, toggle, and push-button ranges — required for any switch exposed to the elements. The IP rating is listed on every product page; for outdoor and plant use, IP65 minimum is the practical baseline, with IP67/68 needed for deep water and high-pressure-wash exposure.
Yes. Illuminated rocker switches with built-in LED indicators are available across the standard cut-out sizes — typically with green, red, amber, or blue LEDs to match the function (red for high-current/safety circuits, amber for hazard, green for general on, blue for auxiliary). Most illuminated rockers are independently powered (separate live feed for the LED) — check the wiring diagram on the product page for the correct connection.

Delivery time depends on the product, your destination, and availability — the estimated time for any item appears on the product page, and "Check where we deliver" confirms coverage for your postcode before you order. Next-day delivery is available on most products; the option appears at checkout when applicable. We deliver across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Use the country selector at checkout to confirm coverage and delivery options for your destination.
Within Electrical Components, Switches covers the operator-controlled electrical switches fitted to plant equipment, agricultural tractors, telehandlers, commercial vehicles, and aftermarket installations — ignition switches, light switches, indicator and hazard switches, wiper switches, heater controls, and the rocker, toggle, and push-button switches used for auxiliary equipment control.
Parts for Machines supplies replacement switches for the majority of plant, agricultural, and commercial-vehicle electrical-system applications. The category includes OEM-pattern switches (matched directly to specific equipment for plug-and-play replacement), universal-fit panel switches (rocker, toggle, and push-button styles for auxiliary circuit control), and specialist switches (key-operated ignition switches, multi-position rotary switches, spring-return momentary switches).
Product pages list the switch type and action (rocker, toggle, push-button, rotary, key-operated; with momentary or latching action where relevant), the operating voltage rating (typically 12V or 24V DC, with some industrial-rated AC switches), the current rating (in amps — must exceed the load current of the circuit being switched), the pole and throw configuration (single-pole single-throw SPST for simple on-off; double-pole, multi-position, and centre-off variants for more complex circuits), the mounting cut-out and dimensions, and the IP-rating (most plant and outdoor switches are rated IP65 or higher for dust and water resistance).
For replacement of an existing switch, match by OEM part number if the switch is OEM-pattern, or by mounting cut-out, current rating, and switch action for universal-fit replacements. Many plant-cab switches use standardised rocker-switch cut-outs (typically 22 × 30mm or 25 × 38mm) — replacement is straightforward provided the electrical rating is matched.
