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.

They had the best pricing. See http://order.waytekwire.com/productdetail/M37/44266 http://order.waytekwire.com/productdetail/M37/44251 http://order.waytekwire.com/productdetail/M37/44253 http://order.waytekwire.com/productdetail/M37/44259 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) Charlie Kuss ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message rv-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/RV-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/rv-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/rv-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
