[C320-list] Vberth light switch replacement

[Wash, Steve]

Good Morning Irv,
The replacement switch uses the .187" Faston terminals.
I don't remember if the switch already had those or was soldered and I added them myself.
Either way, there was adequate room to fit everything in.

Have a great weekend!

PS - The manufacturer's part number for the switch is R13-66D-02-BB6.  The 02 means .187 terminals.

Steve,
THanks for reply.
Looking  at spec there are several different terminal types.
Which terminal did you use?
 I haven't opened up the fixture yet to see the terminations on the switch.
Am I to assume they are some kind of push-on terminal?
