|
|
Hello group - I have 2 questions about B&C toggle switches... they are at
the show so I thought I'd post here...
1) Anyone know what brand they are? With all the recent discussion of
switch failures I'd like to know if they are OK or not. Of course my system
will be failure tolerant so this isn't a safety question, more of a consumer
question.
2) Do the single pole and double pole switches physically look the same
from the panel side? Sometimes I've seem some that don't quite match
(toggle shape, metal finish, etc.) and in that case I'd buy all double pole
switches.
Thanks for any info, hope this post works (plain text via outlook express...
fingers crossed).

They're Carling products. Direct descendants
of the rocker switches (including the infamous
split rocker master) used on Cessnas and others
for decades. See:

limited answer/thought set:
2)
Many panel designers now recommend using dissimilar switch handles for
different jobs. Perfect rows of matching switches look nice on the
flight line, but bouncing around in the air in the dark, being able to
identify a switch by feel can be an asset.

outlook....
