Hari,



I am using them in my panel - but am not able to find replacements.

Mine were Eaton.



I know that there are others out there:

is an example from Honeywell - don't know where you can get them though.



If you find them - let us know...and get double the amount of spares you think you will ever need!

Thanks Ralph. Do you have a part number for the eaton switches?

I found some LT series Illuminated toggle switches by Carlington, but these are AC rated. Wonder if we can use these for DC applications?

   The 'ratings' on switches are generally

   application-centric . . . but just because

   the numbers are given in volts/amps AC

   does not mean the switch is not suitable

   for DC as well. See:

The Eatons were marked as 9931 - but I can't find them any more



Try:

These are what I will use as replacements if necessary....

Yes, any switch can be         used for either AC or DC but you need to be aware that the         current handling ability is much less at DC.

We aren't in opposed camps on this, Bob. My caution was simply     against using a switch rated at say 40 Amps in an application that     was required to handle 40 Amps DC. I agree that for our applications     that simply wont be an issue, as the only place where high currents     are involved is handled by a contactor, relay or whatever it is     termed in your part of the world.

I'm still trying to find the exact part number, Hari, for our Honeywell, lighted rocker switches for our Sportsman. We bought them through John Stark in Columbus, Georgia, who built our panel. I'll see if Doug Hanson, my partner who is the electrical guru knows.

Digikey part number 432-1283-ND for the Carlington LT series seems like a good fit for 15A and under.

One of my partners in the Sportsman sent me this information on our rocker switches:



"We have Honeywell AML-24 series switches. (various models, depending on function)"

On the topic of lighted toggles, I'm looking for a lighted toggle that 

would change colors depending on whether it is on or off.  I've never 

seen one, but I'd be interested in knowing if they're available.

The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, 

understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. 

And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, 

egotism and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men 

admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.
