It is definitely the first, as you guessed. However, what are you
planning to switch with this? The silver one you list still doesn't
have a very high rating. Perfectly fine for most avionics, but
definitely not so good for landing lights or pitot heat, or other high
current applications.
The gold one listed would be perfect for a low contact control switch
for avionics - a PTT switch or an acknowledge switch for a warning
light, etc.

Okay,
I Have gone and confused myself, I am looking at ordering some switches for
my OBAM aircraft and can't rember which would be better Higher current
switch
The catalog states two options:
1: Silver Rated 3A (at) 125V AC
2: Gold Rated 0.4 VA max (at) 28V AC/DC max
My application will be used in a 12-14 Volt system I want the switch with
the higher switch capability which is it?
THANKS in advance
P.s. my guess is option one the silver contacts but for some reason I don't
think that is correct....
