DPDT lower profile button - ON-ON
«

I have a need for a DPDT (on-on) button. Mostly all I can find for this are the
rocker type switches
. I wanted to use an actual button. But also a lower profile button something like the picture I've attached. I'm not having any luck finding anything like this. Does anyone have any idea where and if I could find something like this?
Thanks!

Couldn't you modify an existing button to do the same? Open it up, then add a piece of metal that makes contact to another pin when the button raises to the off position instead?

I might end up having to investigate something like that I guess. Since I can't seem to find any other options. Or else I'll just have to cave in and just use a rocker switch, even though I don't want to. But thanks for the idea anyway.

See this other thread of mine from before:
http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=114697.msg1216869#msg1216869
Basically I figured out that if I cut one of the wires, the alarm no longer goes off. So I need a dpdt on-on button to use to connect the motor to my alternate power source and at the same time disconnect that alarm wire. Then when I let go of the button, it will switch back to the normal motor power source, and at the same time re-connect the alarm wire. When I was playing last night I was able to get it working with a rocker style switch. I just wanted to use a button instead. Seemed to make more sense.
(also, these are the six wires that I was hoping to quickly disconnect)

Here's a fancy one.
Been wanting this style for myself for a while now.
Less fancy, but not exactly what you're looking for.
A tiny option.
Looks alot like what you're looking for, but kind of expensive.

awesome! Thanks so much for finding those. I literally googled for like an hour, and the only one I found was the silver stomp one on eBay. But I think that one might be too big. The others might work though. So thank you!
