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.
