I am replacing the kicker/sling switches on my TOM and didn't realize or look to see that one switch has two lugs and the other 3. Looks like the 3rd lug just has the diode connected to it but the blade itself touches nothing else. Am I right about this? Can I just put that diode inline and use a 2 lug switch?

Quoted from zacaj:

Switch matrices often have spare lugs for the diode to mount to, that's normal. You can just put the diode inline, but it might break off from vibration over time.

Thanks, glad my deciphering was right. I'll toss some heat shrink around the whole deal to protect it then. Thanks!
