Thanks Jim I just got back from the auto store I found some that fit the stud but some DPDT toggles need 6 connectors. they are just to big for the space and will get to cluttered, so I just have to brush up on my soldering skills and go that route.
JHinPA just measured one post on a switch and it's about 1/16" wide. it has a hole in nthe middle but I can't get one 20 guage wire through it and some need two!

Unless you get toggles with termianl specifically sized, no they don't have simple slip on connectors. #20 ought to fit through most - you can then runa pigtail and either use terminal strips or just sodler as many wires together as a splice. It's also fine to lay the wire alongside the terminal on the switch and soder it, without it wrapping around or through the hole. Another option that may work is using the 3 pin RC servo connectors witht he middle pin cut off, the spacing often matches the toggle terminals. This gives a wire pigtail you can attach other wires to or connect to terminal strips.

Do these sub-mini toggles have slide on terminals? What size are they?
Los of connectors out there, but you will need to know the size of the terminal on the back of the switch.
Hi all, does anyone know if they make female quick disconnects for sub-mini toggle switches and if so where can I purchase them
