Question
Smart-Fly Super Switch
If a failure occurs, does the Smart-Fly Super Switch fail to a closed circuit condition? This is important to me because I do not want a switch failure to cause an open circuit such that I lose the use of my receiver battery redundancy.
Thank you! Bill(aka Smacka) |

The super switch is not a failsafe switch. It will fail "open" which is not what you are looking for.

Hi,
The SuperSwitch is a mechanical switch and if a mechanical switch fails, it fails open. This is why you always run two mechanical switches, one for each battery. I will say that we have been selling these since 2003 and have had zero failures to my knowledge. |

There is really no such thing as "Maximum Peak Current" unless you are talking about the voltage where arcing would start, which would be in the hundreds of volts. The switch can handle very high currents for short periods of time. You just loose more voltage across the contacts the more current you put through the switch. The only meaningful thing to ask is the maximum continuous current you can run through the switch for an unlimited time which is much, much lower than a peak current.
