Hello everyone
Has anyone here had any luck with the non-mercury tilt switches? I am looking to replace a mecury in glass tilt switch, but I don't know how well the ball bearing or pendulum style switches last. The application is in a vehicle, so it will be subject to heavy vibration, and I am wondering how well the gold plated ball bearing types, or similar mechanical switches stand-up. The load is less than 1 amp, but the switch should have low on-state resistance, and not be a "one-shot" or low duty cycle design.
Any suggestions or ideas greatly appreciated.
