Before retiring, the switches we used might be operated once or twice a year. That is where you can get into trouble in low voltage, low current applications, unless the internal switch contacts are gold plated.

Some of our critical applications used four contacts in parallel for reliability. And we'd still have a switch failure now and then.

Retired and the days are just too short, busier than ever!
