On/Off Switch

[RickR]

There could be arcing inside a switch rated for a lower voltage than you are using it for. Arcing occurs when there is enough of a voltage difference to overcome the impedance of the air separating the contacts. If that is the case, the switch contacts could eventually fuse (weld together) or could have contact pitting and wear.

Excellent.

Power (volts times amps) is causing the spark, not the rating of a switch or connector. The switch or connector should be rated at or above the voltage and amperage of what is running through it. Another consideration is AC rating versus DC rating. Do not assume that they are the same. If a connector or switch is rated below the voltage you need, it can cause arcing. If it is rated under the current capacity that you need, it can cause heating of the device. Either of these conditions can cause a fire.

Excellent.

No. I believe they only make the female in anti-spark. So note that the adapter you found is a gender bender as well as anti-spark. You will need to change the gender of the other connection as well.

I would get the XT90 pigtails, cut off the XT60 connectors and splice in the pigtails. If you are not comfortable soldering the pigtails, you can buy butt connectors and crimp them.

I have to add, Ive used a standard XT90 as a battery backpack disconnector for years and pulled the plug and reconnected hundreds of times, maybe thousands and it was perfectly fine.
Nice spark crack every time.
