40 amp or larger rocker switch

[cbradiomagazine.com]

So I wanted to use a rocker switch underneath my dash and I have plenty of 30 amp and 20 amp rocker switches but can't seem to find a nice looking 40 amp rocker switch online anywhere.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I hate big toggle switches especially in a vehicle. Just looking for a simple black rocker that's fairly flush, even a LED one would be fine, doesn't seem like they make them in 40 amp or larger versions or I'm looking in the wrong place.

I'm sure you've already considered this, but why not use a relay?

Yeah - it's looking like either that or a toggle are the only options for 40+. Just didn't want to have to deal with finding a location for the relay and extra wires.

You'll likely not find a "nice looking" 40A rocker switch...even a 40A relay won't be the norm.

DelCity has a pretty good selection of standard ice-cube relays, with some that are 70A IIRC? They may also have a rocker switch, but that's a lot of juice to be running through a switch under the dash.

Don't know why not. They're common size for automotive use. I can buy them from my local motor store, Amazon, Ebay, everywhere.

A 40a rocker switch? In all my travels I've never seen one for automotive applications. 20a yes, 40a no.

I think finding a 40a rocker is not as easy as some of you suggest. RV dealers list some 40a peak switches, but only 20a continuous. Industrial supplies like McMaster Carr only show a max of 30a. Do I think there may be such a beast? Maybe, but you may have to beat some bushes.

I'm not sure if that was to me or you misquoted ....... I'm not looking for the switch

Talking about the relay...the normal relay found at Pepboys will be a 30a.

A 40a or larger relay should be easy to find and I don't even know what a Pepboy is

Not in the States...you have to order anything bigger than a 30a to fit a standard relay base.
