Check the datasheet for each switch to get definite answers about current and voltage handling. I was surprised to see how capable those little devils have become since I first used them more than 30 years ago. You may have to look around a bit to find female blade connectors for the terminals, too. Most automotive applications (the easiest to find) use a larger blade, I think.

Re: Minibot microswitches?

Bill,
You are right on the spade connectors. You can easily find the .250" but the microswitch is .187" as I remember.
