Marwi external switch
housing and Judco switch |
|
|
I have a bunch of the Marwi external switch housings shown below. They came with the double Marwi halogen lights. As I take apart the Marwi halogen lights and use the bodies for P7 LED builds, I have been saving these external switch housings for future use. I have been snipping the cable off right at the back of the Marwi housing to save time in taking them apart. There is approximately 7 inches of 2 wire cable still attached to the switch. I believe the switch is a SPST Judco 10 amp at 14vdc switch. There is no part number on the switch, but they do say Judco. Note that Judco makes a bunch of different switches that will all fit into this housing. Judco makes tall or short plungers, momentary, SPST, SPDT and a couple other types of switches with the same body size.  Here is a shot of what the original Marwi halogen lights looked like with the external switch assembly |

Here is a shot of several of the external
switch housings taken apart. You can pry these housings apart and mod them to your liking. I noticed that some of these were glued together and some were not glued. If there is a bunch of glue, they are harder to get apart. Remove the Velcro strap and stick a big flat bladed screw driver into the body slot. Twist the blade of the screw driver to pry open the housing. Pry it open slowly and evenly on all sides for best results. On the right you can see a complete housing strapped down to a round tube. The back side of the housing is curved and has a piece of rubber glued on to keep it from slipping around. The big hole that the switch goes through is 11.2mm in diameter The Velcro strap is approximately 6 inches long There is a slot in the body that the Velcro strap runs through. There are alignment pins in the cover plate that line up with the switch half The rubber boot has a threaded nut inside it. The top of the rubber boot sticks up about 8mm from the surface of the housing |
