Poor quality switches
I have bought a lot of rocker switches.
I got a poor quality product with these. https://www.ebay.com/itm/201580203590?ul_noapp=true I had to solder the wires to the connectors. https://www.dropbox.com/s/k1efmqeen1...itch.jpeg?dl=0 |

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. Andy |
