Adding on - off switch to a fan controller

[tankskun]

Hey all,

My fan controller (Lian-li PT-FN05) doesn't turn my fans fully off, so I bought a SPDT switch.

Can anyone here tell me if my wiring is safe?

Or if there is a better way? please use this blank

Spoiler

Really would appreciate any help

Looks alright to me. Just wondering why you've got a dual throw switch when a single throw would have been easier to work with. Mind you I made exactly the same choice of switch a few years ago when I installed a switch to turn my case LEDs on and off.

Is the switch up to the current that the fan controller can draw?

I got a dual throw switch only because it was the size of the actual switch which seemed to suit the controllers appearance best, close to factory style. I originally planned to buy a single throw switch, but either they come to small or big in size.

Here it is fitted

The switch has a 2A AC 250V rating, but can't find any details about my fan controller voltages/current. I'm only guessing it would be ok because I'm only powering two Scythe mini Kaze fans which draws 0.06 Amps each.

Hopefully all is good.

Yep 2A would be fine for around 15 normal speed fans. I only mentioned it because some folk use a lot of fans, and fast ones at that.
