Subject: | Strobe Switch Problem |
Charlie,
Thanks for the info, but I've sworn off the Carling switches. All the
recently reported strobe system switch failures have been the Carling
700 series.
Honeywell has a series of toggle switches recommended by Bob Nuckolls
in the AeroElectric Connection forum. I installed a SPST Honeywell
toggle switch (part #11TS95-2) from DigiKey to control my strobe
system. It is the same size and appearance as the Carling 700 series.
A bit more expensive, but more robust. So far, no problems.

Charlie,
I obtained my Carling Technologies 15 amp rated switches from
Waytek Wire. They
had the best pricing. See

On items such as my Piper style pitot tube (heated), I used a DPST
switch, as the
pitot has two heating elements. In this fashion, each element has
it's own
pair of contacts, and amperage through each set of contacts is halved
(compared
to using a SPST switch)
