Hey guys...ok, I'm not familiar with switches and went out and purchased one to use as the pwr switch for my current build. It is a Philmore Heavy Duty Toggle switch. SPST, (on)-Off No.30-300

I am trying to figure out if this will work as a power switch. When you flip the switch, it clicks, then goes back to it's starting position. Once again, I am not very familiar with this sort of thing, so any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

All a power switch does is jump the two pins on the board. If it jumps for a second and then "Reopens" it'll work no problems
