Some Judco switches have notches in unused locations that would allow reversing one of the tabs if that’s what you mean. I wonder if it’s possible to drill a hole in the bottom of the case to make it into a tail cap switch by adding a spring
I would say no to both questions. The copper contacts are notched and the pins do not match from one end to the other. Also, since the spring for the clicky extends into the bottom half, it would not work if the bottom were open.
I'm not sure why this cant be done unless I'm missing something. In the first picture if the top terminal strip/contact is rotated 180 degrees so that it could be used as a normal switch in a tailcap. The side of the plastic, can it be cut out to accommodate the strip coming out the opposite side?
Notice the pins in the left side of the picture. They are close together where the contacts are. Notice the pins on the right side of the picture. The pins are farther apart. The left side shows the contacts are cut out to fit within the pins. The other ends do not. If one contact faced the other way, it would not be aligned, because the pins are farther apart and the contact would not be held in place well. It would not be kept from shifting sideways and it would not make correct contact with the center horn.
EDIT: You could make new copper contacts and that should work properly.
MRsDNF, would you like me to make you a modified Judco switch that will work like a Chinese Tail Clicky, complete with the reversed contact and a spring base?
I think this conversation is getting like one of those phone calls with a 3 second delay. Everyone talks on top of each other and no one has a clue whats being said.
Thanks OL I would love you to make the said switch with idiot instructions just for me. Can you please include a link to the switch to save me searching for the link you sent me last time. Cheers, confused idiot (me).
