Loose switches

[Dutch]

What is the best way to secure those little ring nuts on panel switches? They seem pretty delicate and I do not want over tighten them. Do You use Lock-tight, Super-glue?

Thanks Dutch

most of the mil-spec type switches arent that delicate and come with a keyed washer and lock washer .

If you decide not to use the lockwasher, use Loctite blue (so you can disassemble them later), but do not use super glue.

Loctite Blue.

Blue is the color of the product itself (PN 242). Red or green would be so strong that it would be difficult to disassemble later.

Good info on the loctite. On mine I made a wrench out of aluminum turned on the lathe to fit withoug contacting the panel surface with a single pin of spring wire at the edge to interface with the knurling. It has worked pretty well.
