In response to Deere 2520's post last week regarding installation of a rocker switch for an electric actuator, I thought I would finally post how I handled this task. I completed this task in January of this year. This is by no means an original idea of my own but instead my plan after reviewing other's posts, ideas and suggestions.
First, is a list of my BOM...
Bill of Material
Linear Actuator (15 lbs, 12v, 4 inch Stroke)
Source - Firgelli Automations (Linear Actuators, Linear Motors, Micro motors, Electric Motors)
PN - FA-MS-15-12-4
Cost - $75.00
Momentary Contact Rocker Switch
Source - Firgelli Automations (Linear Actuators, Linear Motors, Micro motors, Electric Motors)
PN - MAN-RS2
Cost - $18.00
16 Gage Wire (2 colors for a someone like me to keep straight)
16 Gage Heat Shrink Butt Connectors and Quick Disconnectors
In Line 12v Fuse Holder
2 Wire Flat 12v Connector
Hardware
2 Stainless Steel Hex Head Bolts 1/4 x 1 1/2
4 Stainelss Steel Nylock 1/4 Nuts
Flex Tubing and Kwik Clips
