It looks like this application is handled, Steven. You might also want to keep the following in mind for future apps: Silver alloys are fine for "power" applications but they're severely limited when you get down in the mud with really low currents because the contacts will build

The STK600 comes with a soldered on ATMega2560 demo routing card ... $199 at Mouser, several in stock now. You might also look at the STK600-TQFP100 adaptor card with a socket this mounts to the STK600 it is $99 at Digi-key. If your just looking at the 640-2560 family then the ST

The voltage ratings on switches are similar to those on fuses. Above that voltage, the switch is not guaranteed to be able to break the circuit. This has to do with inductance in the load, and for a large enough inductor, no reasonable switch will work.

I believe Sander is right. I'd keep the same current rating for lower DC voltages as for 28 volts. Part of the reason the AC and lower voltage DC ratings are different is because of the arcing potential when you turn the switch off. Zack --- In AVR-Chat@yahoogroups.com, Sander Po

Hi Steve, I'm no expert but looking at Ohms law I think it's safe to say that the current rating is voltage independent. After all the resistance of the switch is more or less constant as is the power dissipation capacity. Voltage rating deals with how much voltage can be applied

I know this isn't anything about uC's but I have a general question regarding toggle switch ratings, and there seem to be a lot of very knowledgeable people on this list. Typically a data sheet rates a switch for, say, 125 VAC, 250 VAC and 28 VDC. My applications, however, are ty
