I'm working on a project that requires saving as much space as possible (making an ammo box that holds & powers a soldering iron + battery charger from either an internal battery or wall power).
I have two power supplies that will need to go to three mounted 120v AC U.S. power sockets. I need a way to switch between these two power supplies (being wall power & an inverted 12v DC battery) and saving as much space as possible. Are there U.S. power sockets that come with switches on them, while also fitting in a small form factor? What about other socket types such as IEC 15 & 16 that come with switches on them? How about safe mounting hardware?
What about using a single switch instead? Will I need to only break the power wires to each individual socket, while leaving ground and neutral constantly connected? Apologies if this is a stupid question, I only really work with DC and small electronics.
