IF the manufacturer did not list a rating on the switch for DC then the switch is not approved for the use on DC. Switches rated for AC will not last long used on DC because they do not have the ability to exstinguish the arc across the contacts present with DC.

A good analogy is to think of amps as water flow and volts as water pressure.

Pressure and flow are not equal but the more pressure the more flow you will get.
