Yikes Thanks Jim But does the 1/8 rule apply to unequal voltages? Would 125 VAC 3 amps really equate to 12VDC 0.375amp!! Is this really correct? If so, my ignition switches are about 8 times under rated for my Bosch 3 amp coils and most of my other swirches are suspect as well! Off to Aeroelectric I go.
