JR Products 12V RV Rockers: Maintained vs Momentary Switches
RV rocker switches can stay in their selected position or spring back when released. JR Products offers maintained on/off, two-way on/on and centre-off selectors alongside momentary versions. The cutouts can match while the internal circuit operation differs.

| 12665 | Maintained SPDT on/off/on | Black | 3 | 5 A @ 14 VDC |
| 12675 | Momentary SPDT on/off/on | Black | 3 | 5 A @ 14 VDC |
| 12695 | Momentary SPDT on/off/on | White | 3 | 5 A @ 14 VDC |
| 12705 | Momentary SPST on/off | Black | 2 | 5 A @ 14 VDC |
| 12715 | Momentary SPST on/off | Brown | 2 | 5 A @ 14 VDC |
Same hole, different operation. JR 12665 is a maintained on/off/on selector; 12675 and 12695 are spring-return on/off/on controls. The 12705 and 12715 are momentary on/off switches, even though their catalog titles may simply say on/off.
Selection and wiring checks
- Determine whether the old rocker remains where it is placed or returns when released.
- Identify the contact function: on/off, on/on, maintained on/off/on or momentary on/off/on.
- Count the rear terminals: SPST two-terminal controls differ from SPDT three-terminal selectors.
- Compare the DC load rating: JR's maintained 12665 and spring-return 12675/12695 are all 5A at 14V DC.
- Disconnect power and follow the existing equipment schematic rather than connecting by colour alone.
