I want a small switch that would control a 12v 12a DC power supply by cutting the 120v ac, would this work?

Yes, that switch would work fine, assuming you have wire properly. It's actually a little overkill. An SPST switch would work and be less confusing to wire properly.

This control is made to plug in a 120 volt sump pump and will not work on 12 volt DC system. Dave

Yes as long as you put only 110-120 volts & no more than 15 amps. The output is only 15 amps from the switch.

Suppose that you could...you would need a transformer to change the voltage down to 12v (I think, or it may be 24v). But as long as you use that, I would think it would work.

To answer your question...No...this switch operates on 120VAC current with nuetral!

I would guess not. It is a switched mode power supply (which is why it is so small). The way it works is to rectify the ac input and then chop it at a very high frequency, it is then converted to 12 volts. As the manufacturers know it is designed for a light bulb they have no reason to clean the waveform. It is probably a horrid nasty square wave with a root mean square of 12 volts +/- a few volts. By the way hese devices need a load to start them, you cannot simply connect a voltmeter across then and plug them in.Dave

The unit works on 12 volt DC.From the output of the adapter that converts 120 volt AC. to 12 Volt DC.

Sure,just wire the 12v supply wire to a 12v switched source instead of the wire that only gets 12 volts when in reverse.

Don't forget you need to have access to plug into 110v for this power supply to operate, if you will, then it would operate your 12 volt device.

There is a full bridge rectifier on the input power pins that make the device able to accept DC power at either polarity. It will work with AC power (12 VAC please, NOT 120 VAC) as well, but you may observe 120 Hz flicker depending on how much capacitance is placed between the rectifier and the switching circuit.

The switch is operated by water pressure, which opens closes contacts against a spring. I haven't installed mine yet, to control a 12V pump, but there doesn't seem to be any reason they won't work fine with 12 volts.

Yes, but remember this remote only offers an on/off function (latch on/ latch off). There is no momentary function with this control, but it should work on any 12 V dc circuit.

It's just a relay so will switch anything you want. It's rated up to 120 V AC but will switch DC of lower voltage. Being a relay the switch is completely independent of the mains which is used to operate it. Hope this helps.

I received an Amazon message requesting an answer to your question; problem is, I have no idea. It works OK with 12 V DC.

You will need a transformer to transform 120V to 12V since this dimmer switch requires a 12V input.

Yes, you just need a 12V DC to AC converter. I bought this one (http://www.amazon.com/Schumacher-PC-6-120AC-Power-Converter/dp/B0012BL8LG) and it works great.

As long as the converter drops the current to 12vdc it will work fine. The wires are about 2 feet long.
