Impedance selector switch rating

[jbever]

I'm going to put an impedance selector toggle switch in my 5F1 build. What rating should this switch be as a minimum? Can I use a mini toggle, or does it need to be a heavy duty?
Thanks

Your amp puts out 5 watts.A 5 amp switch will work fine.

I was gonna suggest 3A as a minimum, but heck 5A will work fine and have a bit more beef to it too.

I have a 5A miniture that I'd love to use to save space. Is the mini version ok to use? Thanks

No,it will hurt your eyes trying to hook up those tiny terminals.:messedup

Inadvertent good point -- check that the OT wires can fit through the eyelets. Shrink wrap the connections.

Jay, I was thinking the same thing about psyco's remark. While funny, there was a part of me thinking, he's right, I'll never get those wires in there, bigger is better!

Good point on the shrink tube, hadn't planned on it, but am now! Thanks
