Poor quality switches
 
I have bought a lot of rocker switches.

I got a poor quality product with these.

I had to solder the wires to the connectors.

What did you expect for $1.05 each?

Maybe if you paid more than a buck each you would get a better
product. As a general rule insulation displacement connections really
only work for one particular type of wire when they are good. I doubt
these are the state of the art.

The pics did not show the inside of the switch, if so I would not have bought them.

I got a 20% refund.

You are the guy who bought some no name Asian switch for a buck and
wonder why it is not top quality, or even acceptable quality.
I did point out that it might work for one particular wire type, just
not the one you have.
