Customers are mixed about the fit of the electronic switch. Some mention it's an exact fit and the connections fit fine, while others say it didn't fit, the case was too large, and the electrical terminals were too large. It also doesn't work with all shop vacs and is too big to fit into the plastic hole.

This switch was larger than my 6 gallon shop vac switch. The connections were larger also. I did spend time trying to find the right size but finally decided to see if I could make it work. The spade connections were .25" wide on the new switch so I cut off the old ones on the wires and installed new larger female spade conns. There were two orange wires and one black and one white. I was careful to reinstall them on the same side of the switch as the old switch. Used a Dremel tool and xacto knife to make hole in case larger. Warning: make sure you have the top held firmly in hand or installed onto vacuum before turning it on. The motor has high torque. Plugged it in and it worked .

5.0 out of 5 stars This switch solved my ShopVac problem when original replacement no longer available

My ShopVac model QPL625 switch failed and would no longer shut off. After much research this switch provided the solution for me. It required a small amount of cutting the existing mounting hole plastic using a utility knife to fit. Then I needed to cut off the existing slide connectors on the switch. I used 16-14AWG female disconnect connectors from ACE locally item #34521. All you need to do is cut, remove 3/8" of insulation and crimp the new connectors on. Problem solved and vac back in service! Hope this helps someone else.

Except for not having the two small notches on the surface of the switch that the larger actuator tabs press on. The switch is an perfect replacement. I didn't nee to drill out the holes for the tabs. It works fine just the way it is. "Better than buying a new Shop Vac!"

The product description is not complete enough. It should include a list of Shop Vac models to which this switch applies. Though it looked similar in the picture, when it arrived, the case was too large and the electrical terminals were too big for my 2-year-old Shop Vac. I sent the item back for a refund, and I hope they do a better job of describing the item for future buyers.

Since the seller was going to make me pay shipping to return it I modified it to fit my QPS35. I used an X-acto knife to enlarge the cutout and a Dremel cutoff disc to narrow the connectors. I also trimmed the two plastic tabs that hang over the switch.
