It'd be fine. The switch voltage rating is what it can break across its contacts, not the insulation rating to outside (which standards require to be much higher). In this application the voltage being switched is just the drop across the sag resistor, so much lower than the rating.

That’s very interesting, I appreciate the explanation. Carling SPST on the back then, perfect.
