Brian,

My understanding has always been that the continuous duty solenoids have a
metal case and the intermittent ones are bakelite.
However, with the Chinese in the game, that could change. And the later
switches have a return spring in them because people
would forget and leave them on when dry camping and run both batteries dead,
leaving them helpless.
