The screw head is part of the circuit (it is always connected to the far terminal). Connecting your battery to the terminal closest to the screw head will ensure it is not live when the robot is off.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllowable soldering temperatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e350°C (662°F) : continuous \u003cbr\u003e400°C (752°F) : 1min \u003cbr\u003e450°C (842°F) : 12s \u003cbr\u003e480°C (896°F) : 8s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eTo connect the two copper terminals (and turn the switch on), use a 3\/32\" hex wrench to tighten the screw (clockwise). It does not take a lot of force to make a good connection - just finger-tight. (The white nylon housing is undersized to keep the screw from backing out due to vibrations.) \u003cbr\u003eOne full rotation counterclockwise disconnects power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent Ratings (using 16-gauge wire):\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eRated Current: 40A Continuous, 100A Burst (10 seconds). Keep in mind that the size of the wire and type of wire insulation is the main limiting factor. More heat is generated in smaller wires and in poor connections. The Fingertech switch has been tested with 10-gauge wire and was able to run 95A (continuous) for three minutes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fingertech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55727958229284,"sku":null,"price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/3043\/2036\/files\/Fingertech_Switches_for_Website_1.png?v=1783799073","url":"https:\/\/robodome.com\/products\/fingertech-switch","provider":"The RoboDome","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
