KCD-11 rocker switch from aliexpress is junk
« on: April 21, 2024, 08:30:02 am »
I recently had troubles with KCD-11 switches I bought on aliexpress (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001513148147.html), they had 100s of ohms ON resistance. I don't think I used them much, maybe few hundred times. I dissasembled it and found that the seat have worn spots in nickel plating where the botom of the plate is touching the center pin. I did paid $1/10pcs free shipping so, I don't know what I expected. Rant over.

Yeah definitely don't go too cheap on switches, bad contacts, melty cases, etc.
