None of the Carling Technologies site toggle switches have the S700 designation. My switch was purchased from B&C Specialty Products and was not listed as a Carling product. See: http://www.bandcspecialty.com/ However, The AeroElectric Connection in several places has refered to the S700 series switch (a 7+ amp, 125 to 250 VAC, toggle switch) as a Carling product. Several of the individuals that have had strobe system switch problems also referred to Carling toggle switches. I think Carling was stamped on the side of my shorted out switch, but I can't confirm that as the switch is no longer available. For a description of a similar switch failure, See: http:// www.aeroelectric.com/articles/Anatomy_of_a_Switch_Failure/ Anatomy_of_a_Switch_Failure.html Bob Nuckolls has recommended a more robust toggle switch for my system, the Honeywell 11TS95.

And it's only rated at 4 amp. AC though. I never knew exactly why, but AC rated switches aren't supposed to work as good in a DC environment. > A more robust switch seems to be the short term fix. > If we're really talking about the same switch, I agree.
