P106 In-Line Power Switch ACTion Electronics®

The P106 in-line Power Switch has been developed to provide a neat solution to the problem of switching high power loads on & off (eg the main power from the battery to the model) The usual way that this would be done is to use a high power mechanical switch, such as a toggle switch, but these are big & bulky so can be difficult to fit in.

The P106 uses an advanced MOSFET transistor for the switching operation, with only a tiny amount of power going through the switch itself, meaning that just about any switch can be used to control it. You can therefore use the tiniest of switches to switch a load of 20 Amps on or off.

Although we can repair most Action Electronics units, the sealed nature of this module means that it cannot be repaired.
