Q for the electricians of the board..

[magnethead]

I have a DPT switch, center connection is common, one side is momentary, one side is solid state. BUT, it is rated 10 Amps at 250VAC and 20 amps at 125VAC (2500 watt), 3/4 HP.

I know you generally aren't supposed to use AC switches on DC current or vise-versa, but is this acceptable to use on a 12V system? I can't find a DC switch that has the same solid-state/momentary option. I plan to hook both Poles together to the same device (not sure what yet, getting ahead of myself there).



For those who like to keep things looking "stock" in the cab..and non-smokers...Here's the fun way of making a hidden switch panel. Sll that's left that I have to do is attach the front panel (sheet metal) and insert the switches. I'm going to put a rectangular blue lighted one, a pair of 5/8"D round illuminated switches, and hopefully the DPDT above if i can use it. That's all I think I can fit in it.
