Momentary switch help ?

IT ITS TOY TRAINS FOR MEOGR Forum Member

Hello all....I just ordered a PSX-AC board.  I want to set it to trip at 8 amps.  I also want to use a momentary switch (normally closed) to reset it if it trips.  My question is what does the switch have to be rated at as far as volts and as far as amps ?  I will probably set the volts for dcs between 16 and 18.  I have no idea of  what I am doing with electronics. Any helped will be greatly appreciated.   I did talk to the people who sold me the board at length so I don't want to call them and bug them again.

I used these from Radio Shack Momentary N.C. Switch. They still show them online so I am thinking they are still available in their stores? I have had them installed for a couple of years with no problems. There have been a few 'trips' of the PSX also, at least once every time I run trains.

I believe JGL is correct above, they are just internal to the PSX-AC's circuitry, nothing special required.
