HEAVY DUTY BATTERY SWITCH / BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH / ALTERNATOR FIELD DISCONNECT

ASW-A3001 500A M12 Heavy Duty ON-OFF Battery Switch with AFD

DAIERTEK ASW-A3001 is a heavy-duty single-circuit ON-OFF battery switch with a grey housing, two tinned-copper M12 main terminal studs and alternator field disconnect (AFD) contacts. It is rated for 500 A continuous current, 900 A intermittent current for 5 minutes and 1,750 A cranking current for 30 seconds, at a maximum operating voltage of 32 V DC. The rotary control connects one battery feed to one load group or isolates that circuit. AFD contacts provide a separate control connection for compatible externally regulated alternator field circuits. Surface or rear-panel mounting supports vehicle and equipment battery-control installations. ASW-A3001 is supplied for automotive aftermarket distributors, vehicle upfitters and OEM equipment programs.

Product Details

  • 01 Continuous and starting current capacity

    The 500 A continuous-current rating supports high-current battery feeds. Intermittent capacity is 900 A for 5 minutes, and cranking capacity is 1,750 A for 30 seconds. Maximum operating voltage is 32 V DC.

  • 02 Single-circuit ON-OFF and AFD control

    ON connects the battery feed to the load group; OFF isolates the main circuit. Separate AFD contacts can interrupt the field circuit of a compatible externally regulated alternator when wired according to the installation procedure. They are not an automatic charging relay or a general-purpose alternator protection device.

  • 03 Tinned copper M12 connections and mounting

    Two tinned-copper M12 studs provide the main cable connections. M12 has an approximate 1/2-inch diameter reference, but remains a metric thread. The grey housing supports surface or rear-panel mounting.

High current battery-control applications

Commercial Vehicle Battery Circuits

Manual isolation of a high-current battery feed in a compatible commercial-vehicle electrical system.

RV and Auxiliary Power Systems

A single-circuit battery-control point for corresponding high-current auxiliary-power installations.

Equipment Starting and Service Circuits

Battery isolation in equipment installations whose load and starting duty match the stated current ratings.

Aftermarket and Private-Label Programs

A repeatable product platform for distributors and qualified OEM projects.

Size the cables and circuit protection for the connected load. AFD operation depends on a compatible alternator field circuit and correct wiring; do not assume it permits battery disconnection with every engine running.
