Questions & Answers

What is the best place for attaching ?

In conjunction with the screws on the bottom of the switch (jaw/hinges), you can either attach a ring lug, or you can loop the stripped end of your wire around the screw, and tighten it until a good electrical connection is obtained.

I think this is a good deal
4/5

Although these blade switches are quite cheaply made, they are still a world apart from the tiny blue disk models. We use alligator clips jumpers for the kids, so it's a bit tight trying to attach them To make the clips easier to grip, you can screw in a wire. Kids particularly appreciate blade switches because the switches look just like the one on their diagram, so the switch is a good choice. Not much for someone who is just seven years old but it's impressive It can make a world of difference at just 8 years old. The fact that they retail for a very good price in a 10-pack is a plus too.

The bag is slightly flimsy, but it is a good price
4/5

It was for an antique sale, so I bought them. I am working on a set of electronics projects. They look really nice and work well. However, I do have a few concerns. There are a few drawbacks to buying these 1) They are As long as you don't use it heavily, this shouldn't be The clips bend out of shape if you apply any pressure to them. I noticed a few of the packages were a bit bent up, which isn't a big issue, but is 3) The wire screws strip out, so the connection is not rock solid. With a bit of flux and silver solder, it can easily be fixed, but I was hoping for something a little.

Switches that work well and are reliable
5/5

A great teaching tool for In the event that the connection between the lever and poles is loose, the pins can be bent back into shape. With a screw hole, the project or interactive demonstration can be mounted. The best place to put these and other high voltage applications is not in an industrial or home environment.

Switch is a lot of fun
5/5

Nevertheless, this is just a small knife switch that is about 2" in length, but it does the job I need it to do.

This is well-written and well-thought out I really like the way it's made and looks
5/5

These are the materials I've used for my steampunk projects. This looks like it was designed by some mad scientist back in the days, so obviously you should only use it Despite the fact that you could wire a 120 circuit, you shouldn't because of the shock hazard. But for 12V and under, it should be fine.
