Good switches, but fragile

I bought a package of 10 of these, even though I only needed two. It was a good thing, as one switch broke a terminal off while I was connecting a wire to it. I think the body was already cracked, because there was very little or no strain on the switch. The second one disintegrated as soon as I applied heat from my soldering iron. I've been soldering for over 50 years and never seen anything like that.Having said that, since I had a package of 10, I continued on without further incident. After installing them in the guitar, I spent quite a bit of time "testing" them before giving it back to the customer and had no further problems.

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • The 6 pin terminals may be unnecessarily complicated for some users and could lead to confusion or difficulty during installation
