The switch would work fine on a 25A circuit.

The 40A rating simply means the switch itself can handle up to 40 amps running through it without being damaged. You can use a higher rated switch without issue, but you couldn't use a lower rated switch on a circuit carrying more amperage than the switch is rated for. In other words, you can go one way, but not the other.

The switch fits rough openings measuring 1.85 inches tall x 1.20 inches wide. I'll provide a photo showing the pinout and function of the pins so that you can get the switch wired correctly.
