Chuck,
I ran into a similar deal when I got my switches...of course the ampergae
rating for mine were much lower (20 amp switch!)

The guy told me they would work....and they do. But, if you want some
professional advice I suggest hitting up the 'electronics' newsgroup...I got
a great deal of info from them.

email me offlist and I should be able to provide some websites with chat
that I also referenced with electrical questions...if ya need them. I'm no
good at searching thru archives :), I like to ask a question and have it
answered....call me lazy :)
