No, the point I was trying to make is that there is no rating for 12 volt DC service. And if you look at the other choices there is no alternative rated for 12 volt DC service. So if the switch is going to be used in a 12 volt DC application the user is on his/her own. As I already mentioned, DC service is a special breed of it's own with its own peculiarities. I don't know of any valid procedure to re-rate a switch for unrated DC service based on given DC service ratings or AC service ratings. As to other vendors using a switch such as this in an unrated application, I can only assume (there's that word again) that they feel comfortable with it based on their experience or they just needed something to work to meet warranty and after that they don't care. I don't know which of these, or other reasoning may be used but if I were doing something like this, I'd use something other than a microswitch.
