Some FYI for folks, I took interest in the Honeywell TL switches after
reading about the possible issues with Carling etc. So looking at the data
sheets I went looking for the TL's with fast-ons or as they say quick
connect. They are a rare breed. I emailed Honeywell and below is their
reply. Seems to be unobtanium. Anyone know why? Is it because they are
quick connect and Honeywell believes screw terminals are what most aerospace
folks order?
I had ordered an NT series (USA country of origin on package) , a TS series
(china country of origin), and also an NKK switch (Japan country of origin)
from Digikey to look at them to see if they passed my "looks and feels like
a quality product I want in my airplane" test. I was probably most impressed
with the NT switch followed by the NKK switch, then the TS switch. I noticed
a more solid type rivet on the quick connect on the NKK and NT switch where
the TS switch had more dimpled looking rivet like I saw on the pictures of
the Carling switches.
So if you want TL's right away you need to get them with screw terminals.
Probably ground well covered before...but I just thought I would share some
of my newbie trip down the electrical yellow brick road...
