Description
Most “reverse polarity” switches sold for RV jacks are momentary — they spring back to off when released. A thermoelectric cooler needs a switch that stays put, which is what latching means here: flip it to one side for cooling, the other for warming, centre for off.
Make sure you order the Latching style — the same listing also offers a momentary version, which will not work for a cooler.
