Will this switch work for 12 volt applications with 14 to 16 ga wire?

It should work as long as it's stranded wire and not solid 14 might be a little tough

14AWG should be handling up to 15A, I don't think this will be a good solution for that kind of amperage. I would suggest buying a single outlet extension wire for such purposes. I am not an expert, so please check some more

I am not a licensed electrician, but here is my advice. I used this wire to power a bathroom exhaust fan. The run was less than 15 feet. I don't see a problem using it for a low voltage lighting application for recessed lighting in your kitchen. If you use 12 gauge wire make sure that you are not stepping up from an existing 14 gauge circuit. I hope my advice was helpful.

It should it is just a 120v switch and if you use less voltage on the switched side it should work. but I don't think 12v is enough to through the switch.

I don't think so. I think if you're on a 15 amp circuit, this switch will do the job. I'm using it on a 10" Delta table saw.

It has 16 ga wire which is fairly high amp available for most electronics. Don't know the item you listed requirements, but would guess it is less.

The 14 ga wire is fine, it is good for 15 AMP 110/120 or 220/240 circuits. The problem may be in recommended protection for the pump. The pump might suffer damage if a malfunction causes it to draw more than 10 Amps. 10 amp circuit breakers are not common, so my guess is you will be fine with the 15 amp breaker. Most malfunctions will exceed 15 amps and trip the breaker.

I don't see why not; It's a spring (mechanically) operated switch, so voltage is not a concern and the contacts are rated for 110 VAC @10 A, so 24 VDC should be no problem.

I don't see why not, as long as there is not too much current for this switch and it's wires. Keep it away from PC parts that might be sensitive to magnets like your hard drives.

hi stuart-the best way to know for sure is to try it--so thats what i just did to make sure-no problem on my 16ga twisted wire--hope this helps--robert

It's max load is 500 watts at 120volts...a little over 4 amps, however the conductor leads are 14 AWG which would be equivalent to a 15 amp household circuit. The max load of the switch should be adhered to.

The switch is designed to reverse polarity for direct current....such as a twelve volt system....what are you working on?

No, This is for a 12v - 24v application. The body of the switch could easily end up carrying current. The terminals are for soldering.

No, you'll need more wire. It has a pigtail that's about a foot long or so, in 14ga wire. You will probably want more wire, and maybe fuses as well.

It will work on 12 or 24 volts DC. I tried it on 24 volts AC and it blew the bulb.

The switch will operated at 12the volts dc. I am currently using this in a 12 volt circuit.

I don'tI don't see why not.It works on 12 voltsIt is very simple to install
