For
information to purchase the correct rocker switches, read
this area first, hyper link to Honeywell for more detailed
information if needed, then purchase the switches through
Newark Electronics which are hyper linked below. This
information is to help stop some confusion when ordering one
of these switches. They are 1.200" x .800" at the
bezel; 1.000" x .590" for the operator and
1.141" x .750" for hole size. When looking at any
tech data, the AML30 SERIES covers all the switch variations
AML31 thru
AML36. Aircraft Engravers stocks the operators in white,
red, green, blue, yellow & black so you don't have to
purchase them when you buy the switches.

There was a
change at Honeywell to reduce the quantity of types to only
two. There wasn't enough demand for the different types of lighted switches
that they only come as no bulb installed, however, in the [F]
style there a socket to install a T1-3/4 style bulb to
illuminate the operator.

_____________________________________________________
What does this mean to you? For non-lighted
switches - nothing, flip the switch around and have your
text on either surface you want. For lighted switches
- mount the switch with the lighted portion in the up
position and have the engraving done on the top surface. ONLY
one half of the
switch is illuminated, make sure what you want engraved is
on the proper surface that is lit.
