Is this switch OK?
I have an inline switch made to put on a 16g extension cord that is rated for 6 amps 120 v AC (720 watts). Is that OK on a 10 amp 12 v DC wire (120 watts)?

It used to be that AC switches that could also be used for DC were called "T" rated switches. The issue us when contact is broken under load. Arcing and burning of the contacts. I have a harbor freight ultra cheapo car tire compressor that uses a rotary switch like what I saw in your image. But the compressor draws far less power.
