Happ button to remotely start/shutdown pc?

If it's a momentary, it will work.  But beware, some momentaries are normally closed, and the circuit opens when you flip the switch.  Not paying attention bit me in the butt a while back.

Be sure it's a N.O. switch.

They do make momentary toggles.  Other electronic sources are:

www.mouser.com

www.digikey.com

I believe Mouser has a $25 minimum order though...
hulkster:
well i did a google search for "momentary toggle switch" since i didnt know the official name before...and found a few sites.  this is what im looking for http://www.holley.com/HiOctn/ProdLine/Products/NOS/NOSCA/15603NOS.html  but how can i tell if it will work or not?
Stormy151:
That one will probably work, but it looks like a 3 position, On-Off-On.  The center pole is the common.
Stingray:
Yeah, that three position switch should do the trick.

I think I came up with a solution that works for me... my coin door had four buttons inside for rst/maintenance etc.  I rewired two of them and used the wiring harness to wire them to the motherboard headers.  I also wired the lights to the 12V power from the PC...



I may wire the other two buttons to the ipac sometime later... :)
