Since the search doesnt seem to be working and i cant recall seeing anything about it, has anyone ever come across switches similar to those bulgin anti vandal ones (with or without light, not too fussed) thats smaller, the bulgin ones are about 21.5mm across needing a 19mm hole, im after something with a face diameter of about 15mm. Its also important that the switches are very shallow like the bulgin ones as they will be mounted behind a case door with very little clearence. Also id prefer them to be latching but thats not as important as having them look right.
so far ive searched farnell maplin rapid and rs, although not as thouroughly as id like yet, im still searching them every now and then just in case i missed something but nothing yet
i too am looking for just this. farnell have loads of switches (about 650 or something), i was looking through them and I think I saw some that were 15mm holes and look similar to bulgin. That was still a bit big for me though - ill keep looking
www.itwswitches.com series 57 - these look cool. 16mm thread. they are £7.10+vat (illuminated) at farnell. link to datasheet: http://www.itwswitches.co.uk/pdf/Series57.pdf
They look good but their velour chrome plated, i dont know if that matches ali as well as stainless, i found some on rswww.com tho search for product 2781149 as it seems to use sessions there and not like linking. Im not sure which type is which tho, their flat and raised but the one with the flat top looks sort of raised and the one with the curved top doesnt so im a little confused, any ideas?
yeah those look pretty cool too - slightly better price also. I'd really like illuminated ones really, but let me know if you get them and they fit the bill - just wish Rapid had them (so much cheaper and easier to order from!)
