Title: Question about leaf switches--tungsten or regular switch?
Post by: 2PacMan on May 02, 2005, 08:35:17 am

I need to order some leaf switches and they offer the regular type, and then the tungsten type.  Is there much of a difference?..which is better?

Tungsten are for high current applications like turning a solenoid on and off. The regular ones are for low voltage/low current applications like video game or computer inputs.

Hi,

Where were you going to get them from?  I was wondering if there is an expensive source for leaf switches.

I meant inexpensive.
