Does what is says
Nice compact switch, not overly easy to wire up, but I’ve had worse!Works nicely and does what its supposed to.

Good design but challenging!
These are well made and conform to their rating. They are rated at 6 amps and can just manage 0.75mm flexible cable. They have reversible cable clamps and female screw terminals.I have just wired two of them with 0.75mm cloth covered cable, one modern double sheathed and fatter, one vintage. They are two pole isolating switches, ideal for vintage toasters and things with accessible live parts. (which of course, should not exist!). They have earth feed through.No sign of overheating with 2A current: I do wonder if 6A might be. little ambitious. They are small and quite fiddly to wire: the secret is to get every wire exactly the right length and stripped precisely. Those two pictured took me 90 minutes in total, but I did have to use heat shrink sleeving to avoid the fabric covers from unravelling.They do the job well, are small and neat and well designed, but you do have to be very careful and very patient!

Decent switch but very fiddly to wire up
The housing and switch action are all good. Inside the housing, the space available for routing wires is barely sufficient. It can be wired up correctly but everything must be cut precisely, no excess length, and care must be taken to press wires into the channels without damaging the sheaths. Would benefit from being 1-2mm wider and longer.

Good looking and easy to fit
Very smart and easy to wire up. Much cheaper than buying a new lamp 🙂

Well made switch
I looked at a lot of these switches prior to buying this one. My purchase was based on the quality of the terminals and the switch mechanism.Both, on this switch, were of good quality and, unlike many others, the switch has a good quality cord grip.Best all round switch.

Tight And Fiddly To Insert Wiring !!
This is 2nd purchase of this switch and find it fiddly to wire up. On opening up the switch I found a screw loose for one of the terminals. However, once inserted wires into terminals with a tight fit, screwed switch together, all worked fine.

Ces interrupteurs sont solides et bien construit. Ils disposent de connecteurs a vis pour 3 fils (phase, neutre et terre, mais seuls les fils phase et neutre sont interrompus). les fils sont correctement maintenus à l’arrivée et au départ de l’interrupteur par des petits cavaliers fixés chacun avec 2 vis.

Installé en 10 minutes avec un tournevis et un dénudeur sur le câble d’une paire d’enceintes qui grisaille car pas de bouton d’arrêt. Je peux maintenant les éteindre sans entendre les accumulateurs vibrer !
