I just bought a DPDT toggle switch to replace a winch control with push buttons. The guy at the counter said his catalog specs showed 50 A at 12 volts. That seems hard to believe, but it seems rugged and I needed it now. I bought it at NAPA auto parts. It was about $12 incl sales tax. One thing that may have driven the price up is that I needed a momentary with center off. They had enough to chose from that he had to look it up in his parts book.
