Trim Switch CA100-1
This Switch is an excellent replacement for tired trim switches. The feel is miles above any other stock trim switch. Can confirm it will fit in Baron/Bonanza yokes with little modification to the switch plate. Well worth the price compared to serviceable stock from eBay or repairing your existing one in the field.
Im very pleased with this switch, well made and after almost a year of using it Ive experienced no problems, has a great feel to it too!
Subtracted a star because of missing critical application info. However, its a very nice quality switch from Cygnet Aerospace. Be advised...it wont work as-is for a King KFC 200 A/P application. The old Mason 305-4308 trim switch that I was replacing is apparently actually a 3-function switch in the KFC 200 A/P installation where the CA100-1 is a 2-function switch. A call to Cygnet confirmed this but it would have been nice to know beforehand in the specs section before I made any solder connections...(cant be returned after installing). Fortunately, Cygnet provided me with a possible work around by providing a diagram for configuring the CA100-1 switch connections with a reversing circuit. All well and good but you need to know the connection diagram of the original Mason switch to make that work. Still looking for a wiring diagram of the old switch so I can see if the Cygnet reversing circuit works. I can only hope or Ill be out over $350...ouch!

This trim switch is normally positioned in the middle. It can toggle up or down but once released it will return to the middle position.
2.5 amps.
Yes, these are solder connections.
This switch is generally installed in the panel.
No this does not push down. It is likely you have a Century III trim switch and the switch we offer is not a replacement for that.
This should have 6 connections.
It does not but we have a drawing and wiring diagram on our website.
It uses 2-56 X 3/8" that are included with the switch.
