Questions & Answers

Can you tell me how big this item is? If one of these were closed (in its closed position), what would be the smallest box this could fit in?

It has a switch number of It has a width of 93 inches and a height of one inch. The dimensions are 36" deep and 1" wide. Tallest part of my body is 0". Three inches are added to the diameter of the handle by the handle extending over the base. 2" in length.

Could you please verify that the metal connecting the binding posts to the poles on the switches can be seen on the bottom? A circuits course is what I intend to teach. ?

As you can see on the bottom, the connections are visible. In an effort to introduce some young students to circuitry, these switches were given to them along with other items. I really like what you have there.

Could you please tell me what kind of wire you would recommend? Could these be attached with alligator leads or would the stripped wire wrap around the lead?

There are two red and black pieces above the red one that are screws that will You may want to choose stripped wire to clamp a thing that doesn't require a lot of disassembling. They screws will clamp nicely to it.

Could you please tell me what kind of wire you would recommend? Could these be attached with alligator leads or would the stripped wire wrap around the lead?

It works great under the binding posts when using AWG #20 solid hookup wire. The normal size of an alligator clip jumper is a bit big.

Selected User Reviews For TOTOT 3PCS Educational Single Pole Knife Switch Physics Laboratory Equipment Single Pole Single Throw (SPST) Switch

A Better Alternative Than Most! During the intervening years of teaching, I have become familiar with a variety of single pole knife throws
5/5

A lot of them are badly made, with blades that are very flimsy and you can bend them rather than letting them go The quality of these is higher than most. Students can use the knives for a long time and the blade will hold up well. As well as the place to connect the wires, it is It is important to note that these are not high-end The product is of good quality, but it will be used to teach 20-year-olds There are 35 students in a classroom setting in kindergarten through eighth grade In the 12 environment, they offer a reasonable price for a great product.

Electric fencing is a good use for this
5/5

Electric fencing sections will be partitioned with these switches, which transmit 10kV pulses over 17ga steel wire. These are cheaper and easier to use than fencing switches, but I used a glue gun to seal the connections between the dissimilar metals of the switch plates and posts. There is corrosion induced by the process.

This is nice
5/5

Nice work Despite their sturdiness, these are great for demos and projects. Both the plastic and metal are attractive.
