The Baywatt RESOLUTE Series is a range of 22mm resettable thermal push button switches designed for marine dashboards, refit panels, cockpit controls, 4x4 builds, RV systems and custom DC electrical panels.
RESOLUTE combines a clean push-button switch format with integrated thermal overload protection. It is designed as a modern replacement for traditional round push-to-reset thermal breakers used on many marine switch panels.
Each switch includes a black anodized aluminium front body, a 90cm pre-wired cable, IP67 front protection and a blue/green LED ring for fast visual feedback: blue = OFF and green = ON.
RESOLUTE is available in two main functions: latching ON/OFF for normal circuit control, and momentary ON for temporary command or manual activation. Both versions include resettable thermal protection, but the available current ratings are different.
Behavior:
Press once: ON
Press again: OFF
Best for:
Lights, pumps, fans, electronics and general protected ON/OFF circuits on marine panels.
Behavior:
Output is ON only while the button is pressed.
Best for:
Horn, manual bilge pump command, trim command, relay trigger, temporary activation or service control.
Other ratings:
Available on demand depending on quantity and project requirements.
Important: RESOLUTE is designed for circuit control with integrated thermal reset behavior. It is not the same product family as DEFIANCE. Stainless steel 316 front body can be supplied on demand with a minimum order quantity of 20pcs.
Many older boat panels use separate round thermal breakers beside rocker switches or toggle switches. This layout works, but it takes panel space and often gives limited visual feedback.
RESOLUTE offers a cleaner alternative by combining the switching function, LED status and resettable thermal protection into one compact 22mm push button.
For refit projects, custom dashboards and new marine panels, it allows a more modern layout while keeping the practical protection logic expected from thermal breaker-style controls.
RESOLUTE uses a thermal protection mechanism. If the current is too high for the selected rating, the switch disconnects the circuit. Once the current returns to normal and the internal thermal element cools down, the switch can return to normal operation.
| Switch rating | Continuous current | Overload at 1.5× rating | Overload at 2× rating | Reset behavior |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5A | 6A long-time operation | 7.5A: disconnects within approx. 150–270 seconds | 10A: disconnects within approx. 5 seconds | Automatically returns to normal operation after cooling |
| 10A | 12A long-time operation | 15A: disconnects within approx. 150–270 seconds | 20A: disconnects within approx. 5 seconds | Automatically returns to normal operation after cooling |
| 15A | 18A long-time operation | 22.5A: disconnects within approx. 150–270 seconds | 30A: disconnects within approx. 5 seconds | Automatically returns to normal operation after cooling |
| 20A | 24A long-time operation | 30A: disconnects within approx. 150–270 seconds | 34A: disconnects within approx. 5 seconds | Automatically returns to normal operation after cooling |
Selection advice: choose the rating according to the cable size and the connected load. Do not choose a higher rating only to avoid nuisance trips. The protection value must remain coherent with the installation.
RESOLUTE switches use a blue/green LED ring to make the circuit status easy to read on the dashboard.
This is useful on marine panels where several functions are grouped together and the operator needs fast confirmation of the active circuits.
RESOLUTE is a resettable thermal push button switch. It is designed for ON/OFF control with integrated thermal protection behavior.
DEFIANCE is a solid-state push button switch. It uses internal electronic switching and is intended for clean electronic control functions.
Choose RESOLUTE when you want a modern replacement for a thermal breaker-style marine panel. Choose DEFIANCE when you want solid-state control without thermal breaker behavior.
| Old marine panel layout | RESOLUTE approach |
|---|---|
| Separate switch and separate thermal breaker | Switching and thermal reset behavior in one 22mm control |
| More holes and more panel space required | Cleaner single-button installation |
| Limited visual status feedback | Blue OFF / green ON LED ring |
| Traditional push-to-reset breaker appearance | Modern black anodized push button design |
| Often mixed with rocker or toggle switches | Uniform 22mm panel format |
| Pros | Limits |
|---|---|
| Integrated thermal reset behavior | Not a solid-state switch |
| Modern 22mm marine panel format | Trip behavior depends on current and heat |
| Blue/green LED status indication | Correct rating selection is required |
| Available in latching and momentary versions | Stainless steel 316 body only on demand |
| Pre-wired 90cm cable | Custom configurations may require MOQ |
Is RESOLUTE a normal push button?
No. RESOLUTE is a push button switch with integrated resettable thermal protection behavior.
Is RESOLUTE solid-state?
No. RESOLUTE is not solid-state. For solid-state switching, use the DEFIANCE Series.
Can RESOLUTE replace old thermal breakers on marine panels?
Yes. RESOLUTE is designed as a modern 22mm alternative for panels that traditionally use push-to-reset thermal breakers and separate switches.
Which ratings are available in latching version?
The latching version is available in 3A, 5A, 10A, 15A and 20A.
Which ratings are available in momentary version?
The momentary version is available in 5A, 10A and 20A. Other ratings can be produced on demand.
Is stainless steel 316 available?
Yes. The standard version is black anodized aluminium. Stainless steel 316 is available on demand with a minimum order quantity of 20pcs.
