How to spot a good disconnect switch?

Some of the switches claim they are made of fine copper, instead of brass like the competitors.

Im looking at this switch and like its low profile. The pictures claim its made of copper, but it doesnt look like copper. Is it plated?

Is a sign of a good switch when its not plated and you can see its copper lugs?

If you are concerned about the quality, spend a few extra dollars to buy one from a known manufacturer (BEP, Blueseas, Marinco, Perko etc):

The one you linked to is probably fine, but there is no way to be sure.

I don't know but the BlueSeas and the Perkos are very popular and have been around a long time. More expensive tho.
