There is no amperage really. In well in the micro-amp range. As for resistors it can be 1/8 watt as well. Those are actually over kill too.
so the 1watt resistors I used were too much!? ROFL. I wasn't sure of the amperage draw but knew it had to be next to nothing. However after looking at resistors at radio shack I knew I wanted to use 1Watt resistor simply because there were larger and easier for me to work with.
I was going to get three dpdt 5 amp switches and wasn't sure. They were mini switches too. Dag gam it !!!
you can basically get what ever switch you want. even a .5 amp switch is over kill. a 5 amp switch is just WAY over kill but that wont matter. as long as its not too low of a rating. and your not gonna find that...
