Switches

I wanted to know if I could use a 125 VAC switch for 12 VDC project, I am looking for a mini on/off and cannot seem to find. This switch will have maybe a 1 amp or 2 draw.

Thanks

Yes. The upper limit on most small switches at the 12vdc level is 8 to 10 amps. As long as you don't exceed the amps you will be fine.
