BTW: I just took apart an RS2 and an RS2-5 (amp) flap switch. The switches

inside are identical - the same Micro Switch part marked with ratings of 1/2

A, 125 VDC, 1/4 A 250 VDC. What is different is the gauge of the wires

coming out the back - 26 vs. 22 gauge wire.



Some would say to just buy a (on)-off-(on) DPDT toggle switch. I like two

things about the RAC flap switches: 



- they are shaped different than a toggle. So when my hand finds the switch

I know it is on the flap switch.

- internally they contain two SPDT micro switches wired such that when the

switch is in the neutral/center position the windings of the motor are

shorted together. This reduces coasting when you release the switch.
