The Egis 8710-1500B is a single-circuit XD Series bi-stable contactor configured as a remote battery switch. It combines high current capability with a small footprint, front-facing manual override knob, and tinned control leads for reliable marine/vehicle installations. Flexible dip-switch logic and remote inputs enable simple ON/OFF control or voltage-sensing behavior, while on-board and remote LEDs provide clear status. Its sealed housing, stainless hardware, and ultra-low standby draw make it a robust upgrade or drop-in alternative to legacy remote switches (wire-for-wire compatible with Blue Sea ML). Supplied as bulk pack.
