Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ Universal Terminals by VictorsHome: Optimize Changeover Positions by Jared Tovar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality build but not a viable alternative to a drum switch

Great fit and finish. A very positive click in any position. However, the 12-terminal model is not suitable for connecting an AC motor reversing circuit. AC motor reversing circuit includes 6 wires and ground. So 6 wires x 2 positions = 12 connections. NO! The switch only closes and brakes 3 wires in position 1 and 3 wires in position 2. However, you must short and brake all 6 wires per position. A 16-pin switch is therefore required. But even 16 requires a lot of jumpers (e.g. 8, 10?). Terminal 16 is a very complicated but cheap replacement for a drum switch. I tap the drum switch. I'll save this for the DC motor.

Pros
  • Best in niche
