Hafler Power Switch..?

[Snatchman]

Hello..So I've sorta ( hopefully) find a power switch for my Hafler P-3000..This one looks identical to my broke one..Only thing, it has same writings but on mine it says:

T120/65
20 amp/125vac      1/3HP125vac
16A/250vac
3/4HP250vac

on this one it only says 20a...What would keep this one from working properly? As I stated, I've searched and this is the only switch I've seen that looks like mine..Thanks..

Here's the link to the switch:

did I miss something or is the switch in the link the one you describe and that you have a physical switch in your position that is different?

Hey Pucho..The one in the link is what it is ( 20 amp )..The broke one I have is identical physically, but has the writings I listed above.. ( has both 16 amp and 20 amp on it)..Thanks..!

looks close enough for government work...

$12 sounds a little pricey bit for one at a time maybe not...

> has both 16 amp and 20 amp on it

The 16A rating is for 250V work.

In South Carolina you have 120V so the 20A at 125VAC rating is the one you need.

Frankly I would worry more about fit than electrical ratings. No, I would not use a wimpy 2 Amp switch for this 400 Watt power amp, but any "high rated" switch will do. Since you will use it on at-most a 20 Amp fused circuit, the 20A is fine.
