I want to make my own selector board using DPDT switches from radio shack like this one here:

It's rated at 3 amps at 125VAC, but what is the minimum rating I can use in case I find something a little cheaper? Is this even good enough? Do I need a DC rated switch?
When I get down to wiring the blocks, I want my schematic board to have the switches right on the blocks they operate, rather than just number them and have the blocks of switches (ie. Altas' Track Selectors).
