I have always used regular switches, even a relay, I suspect that you have wired a double pole switch and got the connections wrong so that it is a dead short across the 120ac, test the input with a meter. it will be very low resistance but not as low as a dead short will show, compare the readings to your meter leads shorted (resistance scale). If this is what happened then you will have done no damage apart from maybe welding the contacts on the switch.
