Great pricing, fast shipping, and excellent customer support! I had a small issue with the part I ordered and they made it right very quick and easy! I will not hesitate to purchase from them again in the future!

I searched all over the internet for a 12V 50 amp SPDT on-off-on toggle switch. Etrailer was the ONLY place I found with the correct switch. The switch is excellent. Very heavy duty, well built and properly marked as a 12V 50 amp switch. Most switches are dual rated AC/DC Chinese junk.

Needed switches and breaker for a miniature boat with electric trolling motor. Everything working great. Next time I will spend a little extra money on shipping to get it quicker.

I'm sorry but as of yet we have not installed the Pollack switches. Thanks so much for the follow up though. Great job!

It seems to be working fine. This switch is being used for on/off for our small wind generator. We'll see how long it lasts. Thank you

Fast and courteous service. Shipping was quick and efficient. Will recommend etrailer to my friends.

Very nice heavy duty switch but can't say much else because I've never got around to installing it.

Toggle Switch Recommendation For 24V System
I spoke with my contact at Pollak and they told me that part # PK34218 would be able to handle from 6 to 24 volt. They also told me that this has a 50 amp current capacity.

Does Pollak Heavy-Duty Toggle Switch PK34218 Automatically Return to Center
Nope, the switch does not automatically return to center after activating it with the Pollak toggle switch you asked about, which is the following part number: - Pollak Heavy-Duty Toggle Switch - SPDT- On-Off-On # PK34218 The toggle of the # PK34218 will stay in the position you switch it to instead of returning to center.

Would Toggle Switch # PK34218 Be Rated to Turn On Winch
I wish I could say yes, but winches can sometimes draw a considerable amount of amperage and this switch is only rated for 50 amps. Some winches can draw up to 200 amps. What you can do is check the amperage draw rating for your winch and if it happens to be under 50 this # PK34218 would work.

Troubleshooting Husky Brute Trailer Jack With Remote that Retracts Without Remote
The Husky Brute Jacks like # HT87247 had some models with remote like you referenced. You may want to start by removing the battery from the remote in case it is actually giving a slow retraction signal. Although that is unlikely, it is worth a shot. The remote control panel is likely what is the issue or the physical switch itself allowing a slight power draw. The easiest way to disable the jack so it doesn't retract without replacing the component issue is to put a toggle switch like...

Wiring a Switch to the Dash to Control Power to a Gate on a Dump Trailer
For a switch to supply or remove power going back to the gate you can use a simple on/off switch such as # PK34213. This switch is rated up to 50 amp applications. For a switch that has 3 positions you could use on/off/on switch # PK34218 which is also rated for up to 50 amps. For wire you can use # 10-2-1, which is jacketed 2-wire sold by the foot. The flow of the power will go from the source (battery or alternator) to the input on the switch and then from the output terminal of the...

Will The HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Module Mess With Electric Brakes On My Other Trailers?
Basically what the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Adapter Module # HBA-CAM is doing is supplying more load/resistance when the brake controller is applying the brake signal to the trailer. This is essentially to fool the factory brake controller in your 2011 Chevy Silverado into thinking there actually are electric brakes and it is indeed needed for this purpose on your truck. From what I could find out, your factory controller can handle up to 8 brake assemblies (4 axles with...

Switch Needed to Activate Up and Down Functions of Dump Bed
For your application you need a switch like the Pollak Heavy-Duty Toggle Switch # PK34218 which has on-off-on positions and a 50 amp rating. Check to see which of your 3 wires carries constant 12V power and then use that one to apply power to the remaining 2 wires to determine which one is for the up and down functions. Once you know this (and you know that you aren't exceeding 50 amps) you will wire the up and down wires on either end of the toggle switch with the constant 12V power wire...
