Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2025Style: BDZ3P12D10-50Verified PurchaseThese switches are exactly what you need for your diy projects or small repairs on electronics that meet the specs. I have used these switches on many projects from low voltage and they look and work great. The size is perfect for my applications and well within spec. The sliders on the switch also feel nice and stay in place.
Highly recommend.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2023Style: SS-12D01 G2Verified PurchaseNot sure what the actual purpose of these are for- but we ordered them to add lights to my granddaughters dollhouse. Perfect size proportional to the dolls hand - works perfect. Granddaughter is happy!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2021Style: BDZ3P12D10Verified PurchaseI received these switches today only to be surprised as to how small they are.
(See copy & paste from above description) - "SWITCH SIZE - 12.7 X 6.6 X 13.2mm"
I have not yet used them, they seem to be quality, just much smaller than i thought.
They are for bread-boarding, the small size may end up being a good thing, we will see.
10/8/21- I found that the lugs are too short for use with a breadboard. I can get them to seat in the breadboard holes, but they pop loose easily. Hind sight, DPST will not work with a breadboard unless it straddles the middle groove. These will work for soldering to a PCB.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2024Style: BDZ3P12D10Verified PurchaseI am a model railroader and use these to throw turnouts. And if I want to, can add lights, etc. Or even use them non-electrical. And I wound up using most of them. Leaving some spare - but haven't needed them because there's no failure with any of the ones installed.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2020Style: BDZ3P12D10Verified PurchaseThese switches are very sturdy. There's no rattle or play in them at all, but they're not stiff either. The posts and body are solid, and there's just the right amount of slide-resistance to give the action a good feel as the internal toggle flips over.
Don't let the photo fool you. These switches are designed to be soldered into through-hole pads on a PC board. This product, as shipped, won't fit into the holes of breadboard. The purpose of the photo is to demonstrate that while the pins aren't made for a breadboard, just a couple of minutes with a good bastard file slims them right down to size. Just be sure to blow all the filings off the switch before plugging it into your breadboard.
