HELP!! Broken NFB switch

Post by blaren »

Hey all,
My negative feedback switch got smashed-in on my ~2006 Ceriatone 36RP (with half power switch).
I just went to replace it but I don't have a switch that's rated as high as the original. The original is 10A 125V AC 6A 250V AC

The switch I have is 3A 125V AC 1.5A 250V AC.

Anyone know if this lower rating switch will be ok?

I have to fix this before Saturday. Our RS has no switches. I always leave the NFB "off" anyway so have no problem bypassing the switch but I don't know how.

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.

There's no high voltage across the feedback switch, and certainly no high current through it. The switch you have should be fine.
