and you will take care of the molex form factor conversion? Any other things, like size or format (rocker, bat-handle, guarded bat-handle, lighted, ???) that you would prefer? Might as well get what you want.
Another thought, if you got a molex one and it was just the wrong pins that were switched, have you thought about pulling and re-arranging the molex socket connections so that instead of ground the switched pins were the hot one?? You need to press the small one-way barbs in. I have used a small piece of brass tubing before to press the barbs in while I extracted the pins from the plastic block, but I just happened to have a piece of it the right diameter handy by sheer luck when I needed it.
I am not sure why the switch you have can't be re-wired to be the one you need, is all. I'm sure there is a reason, I just don't have the information in front of me which you obviously do.
ANYWAY, DPST 10-A, not a problem. I get most of my switches, solenoids, and relays from Elliot Electronics instead of Mouser or DigiKey. They're better for silicon, ferrite cores (some of them anyway), and discrete components like resistors and capacitors (again, with some exceptions). But Elliott is the go-to place for switches.

That's a Philmore switch, top-shelf stuff. Philmore or Siemens make the very best as far as I am concerned. This one ought to cover about anything you can need and last for about ever. The 12V rating for this switch ought to be about 20 A.; for 5V, close to 30.
Give them a shot. Nine bucks, shipping ought to be pretty reasonable. Good people there, never had any problems with them, even for returns.
Hope it helps. It's a start anyway. |
