I have bought a spare AT PSU that does not include a switch. Its not arrived here yet so I have not looked at it properly but I am looking to get a switch for it.

From the picture It has four cables with connectors on the end and I was wondering if this is the correct type of switch to buy?

No.

You need a switch that is rated for mains voltage 110/220/240VAC and for the current the psu draws, preferably a bit higher.
and which has these blade connections for easy connection.

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

if it fits your case, that will do, also make sure it's an on/off button not a momentary action button, verify that !

One thing though... Verify you hooked it up correctly before plugging it in ! if you connect it the wrong way, you will blow the mains fuse when you plug in the computer.
