Re: kill switch for oldies

[David Stanton]

I’ve used these lanyard switches – $8.00 and they have both normally open and normally closed contacts, along with a lanyard.

The ones crosbyman found may work well too, but I used to design electronic products, many with switches in them, and that taught me to be wary of switches with no published contact electrical ratings, and/or no suggested application. If the contacts are very light duty, made to switch low milliamp power circuits, the contacts may arc-weld together first time used with a bigger load. If that switch does self-destruct, at least you are not out much money! The $8.00 lanyard switches were designed for outboard kill switch application, so the contacts (with no published rating) should be rated to take the load.
