    Fan Switch Socket

    Please could some point me in the direction of where I can buy a socket for this fan switch or identify its make. I really do not like the idea of just using two spade connectors.

    Two loose spades is what its designed for - has no provision for latching a connector socket...... it is what it is!

    These may be of some use .... https://www.screwfix.com/p/tower-ext...ack-of-2/25996 - cut down, wires through, terminate and slip over? Heat shrink is a bit 'too permanent' possibly?

    That looks much better than two spade clips.
