I just got one of these today. ...and to address a few of the comments. The one I have is properly fused on the hot lugs, not neutral as some others have posted.

If you don't know how to wire household power, learn before you use this. I see several low scores stating the switch died in a hazardous manner. One review provided pictures... And it looks like it was wired incorrectly.Basic instructions:The switch is to control the live voltage, not the neutral wire.The live line is hard connected to one side of the fuse, the out terminal of the fuse needs connected to one side of the switch, then the remaining terminal from the switch connects to the live input of your equipment. The neutral line goes straight to the equipment neutral input.The center line is ground and goes to the metal frame of the equipment and the grounding tab on the equipment power input.Live wire carries the power input, neutral is the power return from the equipment to the outlet. In an imperfect DC analogy, live is positive, neutral is negative, roughly speaking in basic terms...Ground is earth ground, and is a safety measure, it is not designed for power flow under normal conditions. It is there to sink power should there be a short inside the equipment, to help protect someone if they touch the metal case if power is shorted to it.I did not get the lighted version, and it is hard to see how the switch is done in the pics. But the LED is not likely designed to carry the actual load current, so if the LED is run on one set of terminals and the main power the other, then it should be run parallel to the power input of the switch, not in series. If the LED is wired parallel internally to one side of the switch inputs, then the switch is designed to sit between the power in and the equipment, switching both the live and neutral wire.The quality on mine is decent enough, if it dies I will update this review. It didn't come with a fuse as depicted in the images shown, so it looses a point for that.

good quality and well made. Should give years of dependable service. Best price I found on this type of switch.

Junk. After several attempts at wiring it I was never able to get a constant power connection. I switched the green switch also available on Amazon which comes in a pack of 2 and includes mounting holes. Much better results. This one is also a 3 tab switch while the green one is a 4 tab switch. In my particular application (an arcade cab/table), a 4 tab switch is much easier to wire and more reliable because I didn't have to daisy chain the neutral wire.

No schematic, no instructions, no fuse, light doesn't work. Bought a fuse at the hardware store, and it will work until I can buy a replacement of a different brand with a functional light.Edit: Light actually does work, but you have to wire up every single contact on the back in a very specific way.

Works as advertised. Nice form factor. Got fuse at radioshack. It would have been nice to have a 110v neon glow when power is on but it's an excellent product for the price. Wil buy again.

This is a great item if you are building anything electronic requiring 120/240VAC. I use these items on industrial equipment demo stands and it gives it the "polished" look I want in front of my customers. please be aware that this item is a "fused switch" meaning there is a compartment for a fuse, but the fuse is NOT INCLUDED so you can put any size (up to 10A) required for your application, but you must purchase the fuse separately.

This switch works well, looks great, and adds an important function to any electronics project operating at mains voltage (a replaceable fuse). As another reviewer pointed out the fuse itself is not included so plan on picking one up at your local hardware store. makes any project look like a professional job.
