The correct answer is "I don't know; I've never toggled." If, however, you just want to turn something on and off, here's a choice of toggles for your switching delectation. The DPDT toggle is rated for up to 20A at 125VAC and has screw terminals below. Measures 1-1/4" x 1-3/4". No center-off position. The first DPST toggle is rated for 20A at 125VAC or 15A at 250VAC. Screw terminals on the bottom. Measures 1-5/16" x 3/4". The smaller DPST toggle is rated for up to 4A at 125VAC or 2A at 250VAC. Has 3/16" spade terminals on the bottom and measures 1" X 9/16". All the toggles come with switch-plates and mounting nuts.

You'll need a little plunger solenoid, of course. Ours has a nominal voltage of 24VDC but works fine at 12VDC. At 24VDC, it has an approx 1" pull. Measures 1-5/8" x 1" square with a 5/16" dia x 1-5/16" long plunger, which has a small hole through it near the end. Draws 300mA at 24VDC and the back has a pair of mounting holes on a plate that extends beyond the 1-5/8" edge.

Pick a 10- or 200-pack of our small unmounted normally open reed switches, rated for up to 100V AC or DC, 1/2 amp of current. Triggering distance will depend on the strength of the magnet. Caveat switcher: the element cannot be mounted vertically and the leads cannot be parallel so leave them bent as they are. They measure just over 1-1/2" long, with a 1/2" element.
