Maybe they are alodined instead of anodised ie still electrically conductive

Thanks for the link. I was looking very recently for something just like this 
(compact high power switch) although I’m not convinced on the choice of 
anodised al-alloy screw for the primary contact load carrier; although I assume 
they’ve tested it.

Hi Fred

If you don't absolutely need double pole, I've used switches like this before:  
https://www.fingertechrobotics.com/proddetail.php?prod=ft-mini-switch   They ;
seem like they would be very vibration resistant.  You could also easily make 
your own that was effectively double pole, the poles just wouldn't get switched 
at the same time.
