Hi John,

I used similar, though a different brand, when I rebuilt my panel. All aviation grade and to FAA & EAA specs and guidelines. The examples you quoted have a cycle rating of 6,000 operations at 100% load and 10,000 mechanical operations. In other words, no problem in using them as a switch. The compensation graph in the specs will allow you to correct for peak-summer (high temp correction) operation.

I won't have the pleasure of flying with the CC armada at Ridge this spring.. I trust you'll have fun nonetheless!
