A cluster of electrical controls, often found in vehicles, allows operators to manage diverse functions. These controls typically consist of several independent, rectangular switches that tilt or “rock” to activate or deactivate a specific circuit. A common application is found in off-road vehicles, where such a control cluster might operate auxiliary lights, winches, or locking differentials.
The integration of these control panels simplifies the operation of multiple electrical devices, improving usability and reducing the complexity of wiring. Early implementations often involved individually mounted switches, leading to cluttered dashboards and potential wiring issues. Modern integrated panels offer a cleaner aesthetic and improved reliability, representing a significant advancement in automotive electrical systems.
