I put an intercom system on my atv, using these as the push to talk buttons. they work intermittently, sounding scratchy. they would be perfect for any kind of current control, but not any audio situation.
The plastic that hold the solder loop terminals cannot handle the solder heat and will melt, and might come loose, not recommended if you are going to solder wire to it EDITORS NOTE: This is a common problem when a high wattage soldering iron or soldering gun is used. Most components can not tolerate high heat.
This is an excellent pushbutton. Requires very little pressure to press. It is reliable and requires no special care when soldering. There are pushbuttons that look similar but are far inferior. You can tell the good switches because they have a plastic cap on a metal shaft. The switches with the plastic shafts are junk.
My company uses a $99 remote door opener that, with constant use, lasts about 3 months. I replaced the three pushbuttons with these switches ($1.05) and the repaired unit has lasted 18 months without any problems. I cannot say enough good things about these switches!
