Fragile design, unacceptably high internal resistance

I ordered these switches to be able to reverse a small, low current 12VDC motor. After installing two of them on a plastic box, I proceeded to connect solid 14ga wire to their screw terminals. Some of the terminals were poorly secured to the switch's plastic body and twisted back and forth when I tightened the terminal screws. Then I started checking the internal resistance of the switches. This resistance was unacceptably high. Some were as high as 23 ohms and many were in the 7 to 15 ohm range. Also, the resistance changed randomly when I cycled the switch. Eventually the switch, which had an internal resistance of 23 ohms, went up to 35 ohms. I can not use such unreliable and unreliable switches. Now if the seller doesn't agree to refund my money I'm stuck with 5 useless DPDT switches. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THEM!

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Interchangeable
