Can this switch be used in a 24V, 5 amp situation? Been looking for a nice toggle switch for my small solar setup.

The switch is rated at 15 amps (12 volts) so it would appear to be plenty "stout" for your application. Link to product's info: http://shoreline-marinedevelopment.com/products-brasstoggleswitch

the switch is rated @ 15 amps/12 volts. Probably you could. It is a very nice, rugged switch which is seeing duty on my ATV, and has never offered to fail. Highly recommended.

No. This is rated for 12V, and even then the one that I ordered fried on the first day of use in a 12V application exactly similar to yours (except using LEDs). I would recommend a different brand of prox switch all together.

We used this in an off grid setup with solar panels and wind turbine. The transfer switch is useless in this setup and you need other parts for it to work properly. But yes this can be used off grid and works especially well for a back up generator for when there isn't enough wind or solar, although I must admit that ours hasn't turned on in months or even years as it is setup to kick on automatically when the voltage in the batteries hits a critical low and that hasn't happened in a while due to an abundance of solar panels. This generator is certainly not cost effective to power a house for any number of days, without grid, solar, wind and/or batteries.

The capacitor onboard is for the timer, not for a circuit when the timeout either opens or closes the relay. At 24 Watts and driving 2+ amps the relay could easily handle the load but it must be a separate circuit with its own power in serial with the relay.This is a timer/relay board originally for home automation running on a 12v 23A battery with whatever circuit -running on its own power if you want to do more than light an LED - connected to the relay.A much simpler approach would be to use discrete components with a power transistor drlving your 24 Watt LED.

Yes, but its not recommended! To secure normal electricity flow, better use normal switch

Hi. My take on this switch, which I have been using in my system literally for decades, is that it is not picky about voltage. It works just fine for me as a pressure switch for my 24volt dc pump.

I wouldn't try connecting it directly to 24v. But you could wire to lamp sockets in series. Or use a 12v regulator to lower the voltage.

If your batteries are connected in series to give 24 V DC, I would not recommend that you use this inverter because it is meant to be used with a 12 V DC supply. Instead you may want to find a 24 V DC to 110V AC Inverter such as the "Power Bright ML1500-24 1500 Watt 24 Volt DC To 110 Volt AC Power Inverter". Amazon has this product also. If in doubt, have an electrician assist with the installation.

Yes, if the switch has the correct current rating. I use mine on the 750 watt setting only. Just be sure you have a switch that can handle the load you use.

this charge controler will work for a 24 volt system. that being said, you did not state what you are doing with it. i would assume you are charging batteries with your solar panels and that you intend to get a lot more in the future. if this is all the panels you are going to use with this controller, it is way more than you need. since you are a first timer, i would urge you to consult with someone in your world that knows solar and electrical hook ups. do this and save a bunch of time and money, and your safety. best of luck!

I don't know, but I used it for a dust collector, so I could use remote wired switched with lower current. It worked but bizzed very loudly when energised. I think it's designed to be energised only momentarily, may be designed to work with some sort of latching relay

You may want to check the actual draw on your circuit as the switch uses 20 amp breakers...it may work?

These are micro switches, primarily intended for signal switching, such as inputs to gates or switching transistors. They are fine for up to 24VDC at a few milliamps. If you intend to do any power switching (motors, coils, etc.), I recommend you look elsewhere. Just estimating, since they have no watt rating branded on them, I'd give them no more than 100 milliamps @ 24 volts. Ohms law calls that 2.4 watts. I'l be generous and give you 2.5 watts.

I believe this switch is rated at 1800 watts. As long as you fan is not drawing more than that, you should be fine to use it.

I would think that it would work fine on a 24 volt system. This is just a switch. The amperage might even be higher on a 12 volt system. I have not used this switch since I purchased it, but I would not hesitate to use it on any automotive type voltage. Hope this helps.

Yes just ground the black wire to a negative wire or grounded source. Run the red or positive wire from your dc source and through the single toggle switch. Just be sure to use a fused source that is low amps because the light has small gauge wires. 5 amps would my choice of fuse size

Not if you use a switch with sufficient amp rating.watts divided by volts=ampsI assumed these were 100 watt bulbs (suckers are bright!). Divided by 12 volts gives you a minimum amp rating of 8.5.I got a 25 amp toggle switch online for under $5.
