Eaton Installed Reverse Switch Electrical Requirements and Recommendations
• Maximum incandescent DC lamp load current on 12 V nominal Vehicle Power: 4.2 A.
• Maximum incandescent DC lamp load current on 24 V nominal Vehicle Power: 2.1 A.
• Maximum resistive load current: 10 A.
• Minimum wetting current: 200 ma.*
• Wetting current must be provided at switch make.
• Recommend use of no more than 2 typical incandescent lamps on a reverse switch. Additional lamps should be
controlled through a relay.
• Multiple relays may be driven from a switch.
• Multiple LED reverse lamps may be driven from a switch.
Note: Some switches have extended limits.**
* Minimum whetting current is based on environmental temperature profile and how often the switch is actuated. The
value is a conservative estimate based on historical use of ball switches. Typically, less whetting current is required for
proper operation. Environmental validation is required to determine actual minimum whetting current.

Vehicle Electrical/Electronic System Component Recommendations
Relay Recommendations
• Relays shall be sized for the application. This includes design considerations for wetting current and voltage across
contacts at closure.
• Recommended Relays:
- Bosch: 0332-209-151 (+12 volt)
- Bosch: 0332-204-203 (+24 volt)
- Siemens: W28-15F24-S01 (+12 volt)
