Never tried these. The solder lugs look small though.
Where did you see them? Cost?

40 bucks / 25pcs... Not bad

Never seen ones like those before to be honest, the small solder lugs on it look like they'd work pretty well for PCB mounting, I wonder what the reliability of those types of footswitches is like...hmmmmm...... :hmmm:

Didn't notice the link.
Depends how much punishment they can take. The blue ones we all use are heavy duty.

I don't know if this is a relevant point about quality, but those nuts don't look as good for me. :|

I believe these are rated Industrial. Dunno what that means.

There was a thread about them at madbeans not too long ago.

:lol: I know, sometimes they fail. Nothing is 100%, even when they say bullet proof.

Maybe tayda will carry them if you send them a note.

Did anyone look at that shipping price? OUCH! Other than that, they look pretty cool. btw, my shipping is shown to the US. Might be cheaper for other countries...

With shipping to my location that comes to 2.71 each. Not a terrible price.
That nut does look crummy though!

Tried them, the holes in the solder lugs are very small.

the lug sizes wouldn't bother me. I use small hookup wire anyway.. what does interest me is the robustness in comparison with 'normal' blue (or white) ones...
