I picked up a used OEM -12A20 switch. The swipe rates seem to be a little different from the aftermarket -02610 switch, but between measuring the same -02610 switch a few weeks ago and doing so again today there was also a comparable difference. However, those differences are small compared to the difference from the Toyobaru wiper switch.
seconds per swipe:
Toyobaru: 4s, 9s, 15s, 20s
Aftermarket-02610: 13.7s, 11.7s, 7.5s, 4s
-12A20: 11s, 9s, 6s, 4s
Basically from each switch to the next, the slowest rate is dropped, and four speeds (intervals) are spread across the remaining range.
I've found the 20s interval to be so slow as to be practically useless. I haven't yet had real rain/mist to try try the -12A20 in to see if I might miss having something less frequent than 11s, but somehow I doubt it.
