         What voltage are the contacts rated for?

         and the contacts are rated fro 12-15vdc.
         If the application is switching 110VAC, this is
         drastically misapplied.
         (On 120VAC They will likely (appear to) 'work', but
         be short lived, with possible failure in 'stuck on'
         mode....)
