Hello guys,

I was wondering what would my case be like when I buy new power and reset switches

I would like to use something like this for reset switch
(covered)

and something like this for power switch
(uncovered and with the same red colour as the reset one:D )

Problem is that I have no clue what parameters should switches have :(
What is voaltage and ampere there??
Board is Asus A8N-E (I wrote to asus web support but they told me they didn´t have that kind of info)
What parameters would you recommand
I can´t measure it .(
thanks for your great help

the power you are switching from the power and reset switches is so low i dont think it matters.

just find the switches you like and they should work fine.

you probably only want spst (single pole single throw) switches tho'.

so something like 15V and 1A will do the job?
is there any chance that it will blow up?
thanks for answers

but make sure that you use a MOMENTARY switch.....not sure what would happen if you use a switch that doesnt stop making a connection for reset or power....:rockout:
