Fingertech Mini Power Switch is supposed to be one of the toughest / smallest, AFAIK
This thread caused me to begin considering a reliable, high current, high G rated switch. While reading the info at the link provided by dhbarr, the fingertechrobotics site had an interesting internal diagram for just such a switch.
With minimal machining skills, this type of switch could be produced inexpensively using phenolic bar and brass stock. Depending on the choice selected for the screw, either a cap screw or standard slotted head would be equally easy to use in the shop and in the field. This seems to be the simplest design for a high G capable switch within reach of anyone willing to invest an hour in some machining.
If you really wanted to invest a bit more and lower the terminal to terminal resistance, copper could be substituted for brass. But the change would be very small.
And this would completely do away with the rotary switch reliability question.
