You might have to squeeze the end a bit so it fits the switch arm snugly, but they work quite well. Different color connectors are different sizes, so make sure you get the one that fits your switch the best.</p>

Could someone post a (link to) picture or model of how these are "simple" to attach to a bumper bar type switch? I can't figure out a way, except by attaching a whisker to the blade with globs of epoxy. I'd like to be able to reuse them when my designs gets recycled.<p>As an alternative, I've though about surrounding my robot with large domed arcade switches - about the same price and easy to mount with a L-shaped bracket.</p><p>TIA ...</p></p>

Open one up and you'll see what I mean.</p>
