Sierra UN12140 Marine Ignition Starter Switch – 4-Position, Conventional, Zinc, 4-Stud Terminal, 12V/15A

The Sierra UN12140 is a conventional 4-position marine ignition starter switch with a zinc body and four stud terminals. The four positions — Accessory, Off, Ignition, and Start — cover the full conventional ignition sequence for most single-engine marine applications. The 5/8" mounting hole fits standard helm panel cutouts. Rated at 12V/15A with a 30A solenoid trigger circuit.

The zinc construction provides a cost-effective alternative to brass ignition switches for applications where corrosion resistance requirements are met by the installation environment. Does not include a push-to-choke function or a protective boot. Four stud terminals provide secure, positive wiring connections for the accessory, ignition, start, and ground circuits.

Parts Desk Insights

The UN12140 is the right choice when you need a straightforward 4-position conventional ignition switch and a zinc body is acceptable for your installation — it covers the standard Accessory-Off-Ignition-Start sequence used on most single-engine marine applications. The 4-stud terminal configuration provides a secure wiring connection for all four circuits. Note that this switch does not include a push-to-choke function or a protective boot — if your engine requires push-to-choke, or if you need a boot for panel sealing, you’ll need to source those separately or choose a different switch. For a brass-body 4-position conventional ignition switch, the Sierra MP39070 Brass 4-Position Conventional is the brass alternative. For a 3-position conventional switch with a boot included, the Sierra MP41030 3-Position Conventional with Boot covers that application. For a 4-position magneto switch with push-to-choke, the Sierra MP41080 4-Position Magneto with Push-to-Choke is the magneto alternative.
