12v Rocker Switch

[k0ua]

I am looking for a switch with a 2 wire hook up so SPST, don't know why i was thinking double pole. Does not have to be illuminated but would be okay. It is for the BX but I don't think need it to be waterproof but it would be okay if it was. If waterproof was only a couple buck more I would go for it but it does not need to be a marine grade. The only time it would have a chance at getting wet is when I wash it and where I plan on mounting the switch it should be clear of water.

And the mounting.. you said Hole.. mount.. I took that to mean you want to drill a round hole.. That will make it harder to find, as 90% of them will mount in a rectangular hole. and you do want rocker, NOT paddle is that right?

Now this one mounts in a .8 round hole. is illuminated for 12 volts, is not waterproof

Yes something to fit a hole.

Something that looks like this.

I found this one at digikey but I don't care for the looks. Plus it takes a 18mm hole, I am not sure if that would work. I will have to do more figuring. What is the difference between a paddle and a rocker? I have seen some paddle rocker switches?

Well paddles have a Paddle you flip like with your thumb and forefinger. and rockers rock back and forth but do not stick up like a paddle... clear as mud?

Either will serve the purpose.
