3Dman Rocker Switch Socket Module Review

Purchased to replace a broken switch on my Creality CR-6 SE 3D printer. I love the updated, simplified wiring design, and the switch itself has a much better feel than the original Creality switch. The shift travel is tight and it moves confidently into the desired position. The screw holes are at the top and bottom of the bezel rather than the ends like the original switch, but the switch is tight enough on the profile that I don't have to use any hardware to fix it.

I have a fairly high current draw for this switch/plug assembly, so I needed at least 15 amps of current across the switch, fuse and wiring to provide enough current for charging. Read the title and further down the description, it turns out the switch is only rated for 10 amps at 125 VAC. I have a 15 amp fuse fitted and will be watching closely for overheating while I work when I finally get my project up and running again. I'm pretty sure he'll eat me, even though he knows he's not rated for…

This is decent IEC quality and should last. Mine came as pictured, with a red wire on one end (believed to be line/hot), then blue (believed to be neutral) and yellow for ground. Using the DVM to check the connections, the red lug was actually neutral and the blue lug was actually hot. The earth was fine. I spent 2 years in electronics school and was a licensed electronics engineer in the 70's. I always check the wiring on EVERY device before wiring. So check your connections before plugging…
