So bought the two pack of these January 2022. By December 2022 Installed one in my oil-filled radiator heater, worked fine for a bit, maybe two weeks, before one side of it melted out of contact. The other side kept working, meaning my heater was only running at about 40% capacity, for the rest of the winter, which was sufficient here in Atlanta. Skip ahead to November, I break the heaters back out, and after about a week running at 40% I decide maybe its a bad switch, and install the second one. Well that one lasted about two days before it did the same thing as the first, which when I went to remove it I was very surprised at how brittle all the black plastic had become, I pressed it as hard as I could and crushed it in my hands. One of the terminals on the back had melted off, and I can only attribute that to the cheap thin chinesium parts being used to save costs, but don't actually handle 20a. My heater draws 12.5 amps. If the metal was thicker inside, the switch wouldn't get so hot, and if the plastic wasn't so thin and cheap, it wouldn't fall apart like it does. In all, if you KNOW you're drawing lower loads or shorter periods, sure, maybe, its a toss up what will die first the switch or the product. What I can say with absolute certainty is the products they suggest, I would not use this for, because if you use this on a big coffee station or a fryer or something, its going to take a dump on you or possibly worse. "Professional manufacturing and high-quality materials, suitable for all kinds of ships and household appliances, such as water dispenser, electric frying pan, treadmill, coffee pot, trailer, etc." This claim is dangerous and untrue. These are very low wattage switches, I'd say 100w or less on 12v and 600w or less 125v. Wouldn't take these over 10amps. I'm sure if they were more substantial internally they wouldn't get so hot, but over time they're going to crumble even at lower heats because of the cheap plastic so... Not what I'd buy.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083RCJSVG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details That is what I replaced it with, it has one bad review but so far seems to be working like a champ, far more robust and:UL certified (US)CSA certified (Canada)CQC certified (China)Enec05 certified (EU)so that means something at least.
