I would tend to doubt it. This is an alarm switch typically rated for no more than 250 miliamps. You're asking it to switch in excess of two amps if you put it on the 12V side, and it's not really a good idea with it's bare terminals to use it on the 120V side.

You may be able to use a spring loaded switch - the kind that are used for refrigerator lights.

ronnatalie-thank you. Do you have a recommendation for what kind of switch to use?

Geoffrey_B -thanks as well. Perhaps something like the linked? My preference would be in white if you can suggest any sources.

Here is a link that might be useful: Spring loaded switch

They make cabinet door switches specifically for this.

Cabinet Pressure Switch

This is already wired with a 120v plug and receptacle on it.
