I'm getting ready to wire in some switches. I've got a limited amount of space created in the side wall to house these
switches. The switches I'm using have blade contacts sticking out from them which I was going to crimp the appropriate blade
connectors to the wire I'm using. However with these blade connectors sticking out from the back of the switches and add
the wire to it, the switches will not fit into the space created for them (lack of depth).
Asking if anyone has bent the blade connectors at right angles.... so crimp on the wires and bend the connector where the wires hook into
and bend that at 90 degrees from where the blade receiver is? Or open to other suggestions? I'd rather not add a spacer block of wood
to bump out the switches to create more room (but may have to resort to that). I thought of enlarging the holes on the switch's blades, soldering
the wire on (with shrink tubing) but with 14 gage wire, the holes get kind of large leaving not much meat on the switch's connection blade.
Or maybe there's some other blade connector I'm not aware of.
This must be a common issue....just curious how others deal with it.....
Thank you for any suggestions!
John
