They're small, and I'm not sure what size terminal end they have. They've been spotted on car stereo speaker wire.
This is a non-refundable item. switches that are only active for a short period of time
This series should not be used if your current is greater than 6A. The maximum current that can be safely used is 6A. It is not safe if used for an extended period of time. B07R8TS283 is a good option to think about. This item should be adequate for your current requirements.

There isn't much to say about them; they appear to be well-made and switch with a satisfying "click. " I'm excited to use these in a few R/C projects. br>br>Here's an idea: Put a TINY drop of silicone lubricant inside the sleeve if you're using the rubber waterproof cover. This makes screwing the sleeve base onto the switch a lot easier, and it also reduces resistance on the inside of the sleeve when you move the switch back and forth. As smooth as butter!.
I couldn't seem to get the case to melt on me when I was soldering. I was being very careful, only touching the terminal for 2 or 3 seconds with a 30 watt iron, and by the time I got to the third lug, the switch case had melted so badly that the mechanical aspect of the switch had failed, leaving the terminal lug at an odd angle and unable to properly move the switch lever to the on position for that particular lug, rendering my entire project useless until I can find an alternative switch that won't wimp out on simple solder iron heat, or else find spade The better points are that it comes with all of the necessary mounting hardware, and the "waterproof" covers are an added bonus if you require them. I'm not sure if I'll send it back yet, but I've definitely put my project on hold because I can't solder to the terminals. I didn't expect the molded switch case to melt simply by soldering a simple wire to its lug, but you get what you pay for.
The manufacturer was then contacted, and I received a prompt response. They apologized profusely and promptly sent out a replacement switch order, complete with weatherproof caps. For my project, I used the switches, and they worked perfectly. I had no problems soldering wires directly to the terminals, and the switches did not melt as some other reviews claimed. Soldering requires practice, and the wire and connection must be clean for the solder to flow properly. Soldering paste or flux can also be used to assist with proper solder flow. Excellent customer service and an excellent product!.
There will be no issues. These switches have never caused me any problems. I would not hesitate to buy them again because they appear to be well-made. Soldering wires to them has been a breeze - Nothing will melt, not even plastic. It's possible that some people's soldering issues stem from a lack of technique or experience. br>br>The switch mechanism is also in good working order. br>br>To summarize. For the money, this is an excellent product.
300 was the number I chose. You risk melting these if you go much higher than that. br>br>These switches are best used when they are not in use. Applications of the "set it and forget it" variety. NOT to be used on a regular basis (e. g. , in a car). , switch on the guitar) For 250V rated switches, there is a lot of 'play' and bleed over. Before you use a switch in a solder circuit, make sure it's of good quality.
There are some excellent little toggles. I've put eight of them in low-traffic areas. Where it rains a lot, use low-voltage outdoor applications. br>There's also a lot of mounting hardware, such as nuts, spline washers, and panel washers. The boots can be used as mounting nuts, freeing up a panel nut for use underneath if necessary. When positive throw indents are engaged, they produce a satisfying click. br>If you have the space on your installation, I'd recommend getting these double-sided mirrors. Over the single pole, throw three poles in a row; These are a lot more versatile and take up a lot less room.
Changing the weather. I've had two of these on my dual-monitor system. For the past year, I've been riding a sport dirt bike. Due to the low temperature thermoplastics used in the body construction, soldering was a little finicky, but with a little patience, I was able to complete the project. The first controls a headlight dimmer module, while the second controls an e-cigarette lighter. The radiators will be cooled with the help of a fan. So far, about 2000 miles of mostly off-road driving have been completed. No complaints about driving in all types of weather.
These are nice SMALL switches (which is exactly what I needed). Some people complained that soldering to them was difficult, but I discovered that using a very hot soldering iron was the most effective method. This allows the switch post and wire to heat up and melt the solder before the switch body heats up enough to melt it, which I believe was the case when people tried to solder them with a cold iron.
