Nigel, Steve
Thanks for the replies. Sorry, I don't think I made myself clear being a numpty with the electrickery most of the time.
If I know the AC rating, is there any way to decide the DC capacity if the manufacturer doesn't state it? Most switches seem to state only the AC rating.
For example, I have a miniature toggle switch in front of me right now with "3A 125VAC, 1A 250VAC" on it and another full-size one with "3A 125VAC, 1.5A 250VAC". The specs do not give any info about DC.
How does one decide if a switch is ok for any given DC application?
Sorry again for not being clear.
