      Q:Are these switches ok for automotive use?

      Answer This Question

      A:  This switch can be used in automotive applications where less than 30V DC is required, provided current (amps) does not exceed the full current rating of the switch. Because this switch is rated 16A, 125VAC it will be ok for 16A, 30V DC applications.

        A:  rated at 110 volts so automotive use is only 12 volts so yes
